Simulator&Visualizer

NetTopo simulator can be used to test various kinds of sensor network algorithms. In this section, we focus on analyzing and discussing TPGF and GPSR algorithms running on NetTopo.

TPGF: Two Phase geographical Greedy Forwarding. It is a pure geographical greedy forwarding routing algorithm, which does not include the face routing concept, e.g. right/left hand rules and count/clockwise angles.  For more information, please click here.

TPGF routing algorithm 100% guarantees the success of finding deliverable routing path. Current features reflected in NetTopo are as follows:

1) Multi-source data gathering with dead sensor nodes

    Question: How to gather stream data from multiple source nodes when sensor nodes use maximum transmission bandwidth and some of them are dead?

    Answer: Node disjoint routing for stream data gathering with dead sensor nodes.

2) Single source multi-path data transmission

    Question: How to gather stream data from single source node when data producing speed of source node several times larger than sensor node’s maximum transmission bandwidth?

    Answer: Stream data multi-path transmission.

3) Multi-source multi-path data gathering

    Question: How to gather stream data from multiple source nodes when data producing speed of source nodes several times larger than sensor node’s maximum transmission bandwidth?

    Answer: Stream data multi-source multi-path transmission.

4) Multi-source tree topology based data gathering

    Question: How to gather stream data from multiple source nodes when sensor nodes do not use maximum transmission bandwidth?

    Answer: Tree topology based multi-source stream data gathering
