One-Hop Broadcast Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is a powerful technology that can be used in many application domains varying from geology surveillance to medicine healthcare. However, current protocols for WSN are not suitable to handle the WSN applications with high mobility of sensor nodes. In this paper, we present a protocol named CIVIC designed for Vehicular Ad-hoc Network. This protocol is based on one-hop broadcast and energy-aware routing mechanism dedicated to the high mobility WSN applications. The experiential simulation results show CIVIC has better performance comparing with those of other WSN routing protocols in view of its packet lost rate, data delay and energy consumption.
