Optimización del flujo de datos en un prototipo de red 6LowPAN con topología lineal

Abstract

The theme is focused on a scenario of wireless sensor networks with linear topologies such as those used for oil or water lines, where the main objective is to optimize the flow of data to increase network reliability, which can It is affected by the absence of a node due to damage or battery depletion, as well as by the failure of a link. an algorithm is created to optimize the route by which data is transmitted from one node to node Gateway, because depending on the position of the node within the linear topology, data will pass through all intermediate nodes between the originating node the data and the Gateway. This implies times additional processing and therefore higher energy consumption, which is why the algorithm reduces the number of nodes that must travel information to get from the source to the gateway node, thus delays by processing minimizes nodes. To evaluate the algorithm prototype 6LoWPAN wireless sensor network was used, the same that was implemented using the WSN Development Kit developed by Libelium IPv6 and IBM, called Moterunner.
