Abstract:
In recent years, the number of applications of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has been increasing. Multiple WSNs can be constructed within the same geographic area. We propose a routing method for cooperative forwarding in such multiple WSNs that will extend their lifetime. For multiple WSNs, each sink location will differ from the others, and some nodes around a sink in one WSN may be far from a sink in another WSN. We focus on this issue in the proposed method, with a node that is far from a sink in its own network and near to a sink in another network being able to forward packets from a node in another WSN to the corresponding sink.
