SCAR: Sequential Coordinate Routing Algorithm for Autonomous Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

Implementation of wireless sensors for process automation applications is a progressing step in wireless sensor network applications. Establishing autonomous network is considered as an achievement of such implementation. Autonomous wireless sensor/actuator networks require target- oriented routing algorithm. In the first section the perception of autonomous network is explained and expected features from routing algorithm are clarified. In the second section, development, functionality and properties of Sequential Coordinate Routing Algorithm (SCAR) are explained. Besides the target-oriented property as a main feature of the SCAR, based on the mathematical claim and its proof, it is shown how the minimum energy consumption is taken into consideration. By realizing the core of the routing algorithm, it is presented that the void problem does not exist and it is easy to compute. Therefore, it is not a complex algorithm.
