Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks are comprised of a vast numberof ultra-small, autonomous computing and communicationdevices, with restricted energy, that co-operate to accomplisha large sensing task. In this work: a) We proposeextended versions of two data propagation protocols forsuch networks: the Sleep-Awake Probabilistic ForwardingProtocol (SW-PFR) and the Hierarchical Threshold sensitiveEnergy Efficient Network protocol (H-TEEN). Thesenon-trivial extensions improve the performance of the originalprotocols, by introducing sleep-awake periods in thePFR protocol to save energy, and introducing a hierarchyof clustering in the TEEN protocol to better cope with largenetworks, b) We implemented the two protocols and performedan extensive simulation comparison of various importantmeasures of their performance with a focus on energyconsumption, c) We investigate in detail the relativeadvantages and disadvantages of each protocol, d) We discussa possible hybrid combination of the two protocols towardsoptimizing certain goals.
