Abstract

The directed flood-routing framework (DFRF) for wireless sensor networks is introduced in this paper that allows the modeling and rapid development of application specific routing protocols based on directed flooding. Flood-routing protocols are probabilistic methods that make only the best effort to route data packets. The presented family of protocols can route regular sized data packets via broadcast messages according to customizable, state machine based routing policies that govern the way intermediate nodes rebroadcast messages. The framework supports automatic data packet aggregation, and allows in-network data packet filtering and alteration.
