Abstract:
Network lifetime is an important issue in wireless sensor networks. One of the main problems in directed diffusion is the implementation of flooding diffusion used to forward interest and discover the routing map that reduces network lifetime through high energy consumption. The main purpose of this study is to limit flooding for the purpose of increasing network lifetime. In this paper, interests are classified based on their content; and the network is divided geographically. A counter is assigned to each Geographical location that will determine the use of Flooding for a potential existence of a source and to use Rumor for else where. Using the above mentioned recommendations, energy consumption would decrease due to the reduction in Flooding; and consequently, network lifetime would increase.
