PRP: peripheral routing protocol for WSN realistic marginal mobility model

This article proposes a new routing protocol called Peripheral Routing Protocol (PRP) for the scenario where the mobile destination (D) moves at the wireless sensor network (WSN) periphery for gathering data.

Description
Summary:This article proposes a new routing protocol called Peripheral Routing Protocol (PRP) for the scenario where the mobile destination (D) moves at the wireless sensor network (WSN) periphery for gathering data. From a connectivity point of view, when D follows the marginal mobility model (MMM), the WSN becomes a hybrid network: a sparse network, because of the interrupted connectivity between D and the rest of the nodes and a well-connected network, because of the connectivity between all the other nodes of the WSN except D. It will be proven through MATLAB simulations that, for a military application scenario where D's connectivity to the WSN varies between 10% and 95%, compared with the 100% case, PRP outperforms routing protocols recommended for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANET) in three ways: it maintains an average Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) over 90%, a below 10% and 5% increase for the Average End to End Delay (AETED) and energy per transmitted packet.
