(GRFR) protocol is proposed for Wireless Sensor/Actor Networks (WSANs)
based on geographic information, which improves rumor routing protocol.
The study explores the performance of GRFR including both the network
lifetime and communication delay at two different system architectures
based on the software simulation platform SensorSimulator, which is a
discrete event simulation framework for the networks built over OMNeT++.
Furthermore, it is deeply investigated how the sensor nodes within one
hop from the sink affect the network lifetime.]]>Akyildiz, I.F. and I.H. Kasimoglu,20042351367Akyildiz, I.F., T. Melodia and K.R. Chowdury,2007143239Braginsky, D. and D.
