Implementation of biological routing protocol in Tunnel Wireless Sensor Network (TWSN)

Abstract

A routing protocol is a core issue in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) especially on undetermined situation and crucial condition to guarantee the transmission of data. Therefore, any implementation of routing protocol in a tunnel environment will suit with their application to minimize dropped data in its communication. This paper presents a biological routing protocol named as Biological Tunnel Routing Protocol (BioTROP) in Tunnel Wireless Sensor Network (TWSN). BioTROP has been tested with four challenging situations for marking its standard soon. By setting it in low power transmission, all nodes appear as source node and intermediate nodes concurrently, faster transmission rate and free-location setup for each node; these conditions make BioTROP as an ad-hoc protocol with lightweight coding size in tunnel environment. This protocol is tested only in real test bed experiment using 7 TelosB nodes at a predetermined distance. The results have shown more than 70 percent of the transmitted data packets were successfully delivered at the base station.
