A framework based on small world features to design HSNs topologies with QoS

In this work we propose a framework based on the small world features to design Heterogeneous Sensor Network (HSN) topologies with QoS. The framework creates three different topologies and each topology has its goals related to the latency and energy consumption during data communication. We also propose a routing algorithm that uses the created topologies in order to provide QoS in HSN. Simulation results showed that the three topologies can provide different levels of QoS that can be used in many sensor network applications. We also compare our framework to the literature topology to provide QoS in HSN and our framework presents better tradeoff between energy consumption and latency during data communication.
