A Source Routing Protocol for Bluetooth-Based Sensor Networks

Article Preview

Abstract:

Blueweb is a self-organizing Bluetooth-based multihop network equipped with a scatternet formation algorithm and a hybrid routing protocol. The routing protocol combines the reactive method globally and the proactive method locally to discover the optimal path for packet transmission. In Blueweb, the route master maintains the global topology information and each master maintains its own N-tier routing information. In this paper, a tier number decision algorithm is used in Blueweb to determine the optimal number of tiers for all the other masters. Our computer simulation results show that this algorithm can efficiently improve the routing performance and reduce the routing maintenance cost for Blueweb routing protocol.
