Abstract :
In this paper, we introduce an efficient Controlled Routeless Routing with Fixed Channel Width protocol (CRRFCW) that combines LAR and RAF protocols for effective deployment in restricted power-budget and bandwidth mobile ad hoc sensor networks (MASNETs). Our protocol is a controlled routeless geographic routing protocol that constructs a virtual broadcasting channel between sensor nodes and their sinks. Only some of the sensor nodes inside the channel are allowed to contribute in forwarding packets. The simulation results show that our protocol outperforms both RAF and LAR protocols in number of retransmission, energy consumption, end-to-end delay and packet delivery ratio. Hence, our protocol is amenable to deployment in areas of restricted power-budget and bandwidth, such as the MASNET domain.
