A geocast routing algorithm intended for street lighting system based on wireless sensor networks

This work is part of research project where are studied and developed efficient technologies highlighted by the ReLuz (Brazilian National Program of Public Lightning and Efficient Light Signalization) program. It is proposed, in that context, the development of remote command and monitoring infrastructure for management purposes for large areas. Specifically, it refers the research and analysis of efficient routing algorithms in terms of energy consumption, guarantee of package delivery and good performance (minimum delay). Two new geocast routing algorithms are implemented and compared with other candidates applied to street lighting system. Such algorithms refer to wireless sensor networks IEEE 802.15.4 through multi-hop and low reach communication, and low cost. The results show that the proposed algorithm GGPSRII saves more energy, presents a good percentage of delivery guarantee, good performance than compared ones.
