Summary
The new Time-aware UAV-based Energy-efficient Reconfigurable Routing (TUBER) scheme significantly improves network performance in livestock sensor networks. TUBER enhances stability, reduces energy use, and boosts data delivery compared to previous methods.
Area of Science:
- Wireless Sensor Networks
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- Network Routing Protocols
Background:
- Existing recoverable UAV-based energy-efficient reconfigurable routing (RUBER) schemes face challenges with time complexity and processing costs.
- Smart wireless livestock sensor networks require robust routing solutions to handle sensor node and route failures.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce a novel Time-aware UAV-based Energy-efficient Reconfigurable Routing (TUBER) scheme.
- To address the limitations of previous routing schemes in terms of efficiency and performance.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of TUBER in wireless livestock sensor networks.
Main Methods:
- Implementation of a synchronized clustering-with-backup strategy.
- Utilizing a minimum-hop neighborhood recovery mechanism.
- Employing a redundancy minimization technique for efficient routing.
Main Results:
- TUBER demonstrated significant improvements over RUBER and UBER schemes.
- Key performance metrics showed enhancements including Cluster Survival Ratio (CSR) by 36.25% and Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) by 38.32%.
- Substantial gains were observed in Fault Tolerance Index (FTI) at 61.07% and Routing Overhead (ROH) reduction by 63.20%.
Conclusions:
- The TUBER scheme offers a more effective and efficient routing solution for wireless sensor networks.
- TUBER successfully mitigates issues related to time complexity and processing costs.
- Experimental results validate the superiority of TUBER in enhancing network performance and reliability.
