CHARON
Project Description
An high-efficiency opportunistic routing protocol for WSNs, using an any-sink, node->sink communication model, with no other infrastructure. Main features:
- Delay-based routing
- Multi-factor routing metric
- Built-in time synchronization and radio power management
- QoS support, with support for both urgent and delay-tolerant traffic
Active Period: 2008-2010
GEMS team: Jorge M. Soares
