Abstract :
Ad hoc bio-sensor networks have a very characteristic structure with three types of nodes: the command centre, the sensor nodes (animals such as rats) and the relaying nodes. We have taken up such networks and measured the throughput of such systems and suggest ways in which the throughput can be increased. It was also found that to increase the throughput of such systems, no sophisticated routing techniques or expensive transmission techniques are needed. This can be achieved by simply adopting the appropriate motion trajectories of the nodes. We have also explained the structure of these networks in detail and the routing issues involved in these networks. A Hot-Spot problem at the command centre has also been discussed. The suggestions of appropriate motions target this problem and show how an even distribution of nodes can alleviate this problem to a large extent. In addition to this, a constraint on the number of messages the sensor node can send per unit time can also make the network more efficient.
