MultiCAST for Multiple Geographical region (MgCast) Published in SECON 04

Destination set = {d1, d2, d3, d4, d5, d6}

Motivations

Power saving multicast protocol adapted to mobile sensor networks is needed.

For BAM, if hop count is cost, it’s not adapted to mobile sensor environment Hop count is not fixed.

For MgCast, routes reconstruct by using periodic HELLO messages Energy consumption is high.

Proposed Algorithm

All nodes have accurate location information

Source Process Grouping Sinks

Forwarding Node Process Selecting Unicasting or Multicasting

MAC Base on S-MAC

Source Node Grouping sinks

Example is 4 groups

90°

Nearest sink to Src

The centroid of the tetragon (S1, S2, S3, S4)

Source Node Selecting forwarding node

Forwarding node

Forwarding Node

Unicast or Multicast ? Branch Point ? L ? HS and HN ?

Forwarding Node

Multicast The case that there is a sink in the radio range o

f the forwarding node. The case that HN and HS are on the other side fo

r A. The case that HN and HS are on the same side for

A, and HS is nearer to A than HN. Unicast

Medium Access Control (MAC)

S-MAC No Hello Message

Broadcast

Simulations

All sinks are static.

Conclusions

A new power saving protocol for multiple sinks which is adapted to mobile sensors.

Do not construct routes before sending data

Do not use periodic HELLO message
