wsn routing table

[WSN2011]

Hi,

I'm a novice student working on a wsn project.I have some questions. I have searched for a long time in the net but I didn't find a response.

1) What are the components of a routing table of each sensor node? How to implement it?

2) If I want to implement an existant routing algorithm or a new one, which langage or plateform should I use?

3) How to simulate a WSN? Which soft ware or plateform should I use?

4) I have no application of my new algorithm, how to find an application on the net?

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,

Hello Wsn2011,

If I understand what you are looking for, I believe that it is not possible. If you look at item 6 here, you will see that we use a proprietary technology for routing that is limited to the configuration discussed in number 7 of that same listing. The networking topologies section here and this networking topology page may also be of assistance, but I don't think we have a solution for you as far as being able to implement a custom routing configuration.

This forum post ( http://forums.ni.com/t5/Wireless-Sensor-Networks/WSN-Routing-Tables-and-best-path-determinations/m-p... ) also discusses similar topics.

As to simulating the device, you can develop for, but not simulate, a wsn system by simply adding the gateway to your project:

I am not 100% sure what you are asking, unless it relates to the routing questions above. Would you mind explaining that item in a bit more detail?

Thanks,

Hello DS13,

Thanks very much for your response,

I will explain a little bit my questions:

1) In fact, I want to develop and implement a new wsn routing agorithm by using an agent paradigm. I wonder if i implement this one with a known langage as JAVA or c, c++ and then simulate it with an appropriate simulator. For this, you know that a wsn involves a lot of nodes. For each node, we should define a routing table, How to implement it? If I choose JAVA langage, I can implement it as a java class. If there is a specific langage for implementing a routing algorithm, how to do then?

2) 3) Which software or plateform and langage should I use in order to implement my algorithm?

4) I will in a first step define a conceptual solution (abstract solution). I have no application ie I will develop an abstarct solution not depending from a study case.

I have not to configure a WSN application.

I wish that I explained my questions. I need help please.

Thanks in advance,

Best Regars,

Hi WSN2011,

I'm sorry, I think I was not clear enough in my last post. My final note was actually intended to be about just question number 4. As far as the rest of my post is concerned, that still holds true. You cannot control the routing table for a WSN network, it automatically configures a routing table within the hardware, and that routing is not user configurable. I apologize for the confusion.

Can I ask, what is your goal with this? Why do you want to create a new routing algorithm? What is the goal of your project?

Thanks,

Hello Sir,

Thanks very much for your response,

Do you mean that I don't have to implement a routing algorithm for a WSN (because it's automatically configurable by the hardware)?

This is as a part of a thesis work. The aim is to implement a new routing algorithm using agent paradigm. This is because I wonder how to simulate such algorithm if I implement the method with a known langage like C, C++ or JAVA. I don't talk about hardware simulations, configurations or tests. It's just a software solution.

I'm a novice student in this field and I have no application nor hardware devices.

Thanks,

Hey WSN,

Thats right, the WSN already has a routing algorithm in place, so there is neither need nor ability to configure it yourself. I'm sorry I do not have much to offer, as far as WSN is concerned, if you are really just looking to program the routing yourself. We just don't have anything in place for that, that I have been able to find.

Thanks,
