Adaptive Load-Balancing Algorithm with Rainbow Mechanism to Avoid Connectivity Holes in Wireless Sensor Networks

The majority of the research on protocol design for WSNs has focused on MAC and routing provision. An important class of protocols is represented by geographic or location-based routing schemes, where a relay is greedily selected based on the progression it provides toward the sink. ALBA-R is a protocol for converge casting in wireless sensor networks and features cross-layer integration of geo...

Dynamic Access Class barring and Relay Assisted Radio Resource Allocation

Dynamic Access Class Barring and Relay Assisted Radio Resource Allocation Methods for Cellular M2M Networks c © Lilatul Ferdouse, 2015 Master of Applied Science Electrical and Computer Engineering Ryerson University Cellular based M2M systems generate massive number of access requests which create congestion in the cellular network. The contention-based random access procedures are designed for...

ALBA-R: Load-Balancing Geographic Routing Around Connectivity Holes in Wireless Sensor Networks SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL

This paper presents ALBA-R, a protocol for convergecasting in wireless sensor networks. ALBA-R features the cross-layer integration of geographic routing with contention-based MAC for relay selection and load balancing (ALBA) as well as a mechanism to detect and route around connectivity holes (Rainbow). ALBA and Rainbow (ALBA-R) together solve the problem of routing around a dead end without o...
