Abstract

This paper presents a tree-based anycast (TBA) protocol designed for wireless sensor/actuator networks. Contrary to existing work, TBA allows forming an anycast address from multiple attributes which describe the destination node. TBA uses spanning trees for query propagation. The usefulness of such a solution is validated by simulations, which show that under certain conditions significant energy gain compared to flooding can be expected.
