In wireless sensor node battery power and memory is available in limited amount. The computing devices available in the sensor nodes are not capable enough to execute complex algorithm. Moreover, several retransmissions of data packets are done to compensate lost packet due to buffer overflow. The algorithm of buffer management policies of conventional data network cannot be applied in sensor network, because they are too complex to be implemented in low computation capable sensor nodes. There are many aspect of this paper, firstly we proposed to classify the packets into different categories and then we proposed the prioritized buffer management policy for different category uniquely. Currently, the CMU priority queue system available with the default DSR algorithm is being used in wireless sensor network. Our analysis and simulation studies show that our policies can be used to save all critically important packets. The other results indicate that our proposed algorithm outperform the CMU priority queue management available with DSR protocol.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
