Abstract
We propose an intelligent position-based VIP routing algorithm in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). This paper addresses the problem of finding an optimal path with guaranteed delivery of packets and low overhead. In this position-based routing, the physical position of the nodes is known through the use of GPS or some other types of positioning services. Each node knows its own position, one-hop neighbor position, and destination node position. Because of limited transmission range and limited energy, intermediate nodes take into participation and contribute to packet forwarding. This algorithm used a greedy forwarding approach to forward the packets toward destination and a clustering approach to save energy. Network area is divided into fixed size of zones, and a VIP node selects a best forwarding node in the next zone by using a directional routing (DIR) greedy approach. The objective is to deal with issues of network design and provide an optimal path without unnecessary transmission. We compare VIP routing algorithm with an existing routing algorithm. Both theoretical analysis and simulation result show an excellent performance under low node mobility.
