Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new method to improve the performance of a Quorum-based NDP (Neighbor Discovery Protocol) in heterogeneous wireless sensor networks. It creates a new set of discovery schedules by combining two different Quorum-based matrices. The original Quorum-based schedule guarantees only two overlapping active slots with a cycle, but the newly created matrix greatly increases the chance of neighbor discovery. Therefore, although the size of the combined matrix of the proposed method increases, the number of discovery chances with neighboring nodes considerably increases, and the new approach is superior to the original Quorum-based neighbor node discovery protocol. In this study, we compares the performance of the proposed method to the Quorum-based protocols such as SearchLight and Hedis using TOSSIM. We assume all sensor nodes operates in a different duty cycle in the experiment. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is superior to other Quorum-based methods.
