Power Control DSR Routing in Tunnel Environment Monitoring
As one of important technologies of IOT (Internet of Things), WSN (Wireless Sensor Networks) has been used in tunnel environmental monitoring. Tunnel environment monitoring has its particularity that WSN nodes show linear topologies. Traditional routing algorithms in WSN do not consider the linear topology of sensor nodes in tunnel and are difficult to realize long-time data transmission in limited battery power. In this paper, we propose Power Control Dynamic Source Routing algorithm (PC-DSR) by the thought of cross-layer design. Routing table is established according to the distance between nodes and the residual energy of nodes and optimum transmission power is calculated in order to save nodes’ power and prolong the life-time of the whole networks. Simulation results show that the novel algorithm can save node's transmission power, which increase the WSN lifetime of 12.3%.
