Abstract

In this chapter we present a routing protocol suitable for using Wireless Sensor Networks in critical infrastructure protection applications (e.g. industrial facilities, borders, pipelines etc.). Since network nodes may extend in a straight line for several kilometers, this linear topology of nodes poses special restrictions to network design. An architecture optimized to support linear Wireless Sensor Networks is described hereinafter. Simulation results outline the network quality features offering a dependable solution, while implementation using off-the-shelf components demonstrates the remarkable characteristics of sensor nodes in terms of power consumption.
