Building a Potential Field to Provide Real-Time Transmission in Wireless Sensor Network

摘要

The Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is embracing an increasing number of real-time applications subject to strict delay constraints. Utilizing the methodology of potential field in physics, we present an effective way to address the challenges in real-time transmission. We propose the Potential based Real-Time Routing (PRTR) protocol, which provides real-time transmission using multi-path routing algorithm based on a composite potential field. PRTR features a delay-minimized real-time routing as well as alleviating congestion simultaneously.
