EEHRT: Energy Efficient Technique for Handling Redundant Traffic in Zone-Based Routing for Wireless Sensor Networks

Algorithm 1

Pseudocode for EEHRT routing strategy.

Begin
Set MsgSeqNo 0
Set SzoneID -1
Set SMsgType -1
For each node’s Schedule MSG
Set MsgType 0
If Msg OwnMsg then
Set MsgType 1
Waits for a guard time // After the guard time expires or when the channel becomes free, then
Waits for a random listening time // Wait for time before the actual transmission
BroadCast Msg
Add zoneID, MsgSeqNo and MsgType into buffer
End if
If MsgType 1 or 2 and Node BS then
Set RecvPCKT RecvPCKT + 1
Drop Msg
Else
If MsgScheduled == RcvMsgSeqNo then
If Recv_zoneID < SzoneID and MsgType > = SMsgtype //SMsgType is the buffered value of MsgType
and SzoneID is buffered/stored zoneID
Set SeqNo MsgRcvSeqNo
Set zoneID SzoneID
Set MsgType 3
BroadCast Beacon//Broadcast Beacon message
CANCEL Event
Drop Msg
Reset buffer to initial value
Else
If RcvPCKT_ zoneID < = ZoneID then
Drop Msg
Else
Schedule Msg for relaying by adding its own zoneID
Set MsgType 2
End if
End if
If zoneID==RecvZoneID and SeqNo==MsgRcvSeqNo and MsgType == 3
Kill timer
Drop Msg
Reset the buffer
End if
End while
End
