Centrality-based routing for Wireless Sensor Networks
The use of topological features, more specifically, the importance of an element related to its structural position is a subject widely studied. For instance, complex networks theory provides some general use of centrality measures that have been applied to a large variety of knowledge fields. This work aims to use centrality information in the design of routing algorithms for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). In this context, we propose a new topological measure, the Sink Betweenness, a distributed algorithm to calculate it, and devise a tree-based routing algorithm that takes advantage of it. Simulations comparing our approach to some well-known algorithms show that our treebased algorithm improves the routing overlap, favoring data fusion.
