Dynamic addressing in wireless sensor networks without location awareness
journal contribution
posted on 2010-03-01, 00:00 authored by Robin Ram Mohan DossRobin Ram Mohan Doss, D Chandra, Lei PanLei Pan, Wanlei Zhou, Morshed ChowdhuryMorshed ChowdhurySensor Networks have applications in diverse fields. They can be deployed for habitat modeling, temperature monitoring and industrial sensing. They also find applications in battlefield awareness and emergency (first) response situations. While unique addressing is not a requirement of many data collecting applications of wireless sensor networks, it is vital for the success of applications such as emergency response. Data that cannot be associated with a specific node becomes useless in such situations. In this work we propose a novel dynamic addressing mechanism for wireless sensor networks that are not location-aware. The scheme enables successful reuse of addresses in event-driven wireless sensor networks introducing minimal latencies and efficiently addressing packet loss. It also eliminates the need for network-wide Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) to ensure uniqueness of network level addresses.
