The Algorithm of Multi-source to Multi-sink Traffic scheduling

Abstract

With the development of internet technology, the proliferation of network-based applications leads to large number of multi-source multi-sink traffic transmission. Such as wireless sensor network (WSN), to deal with actuator nodes or support high-level programming abstractions, it naturally calls for a many-to-many communication. But the existing algorithms or solutions are not able to solve the scenarios effectively, they face many difficulties and challenges when dealing with multi-source multi-sink network problems. In this paper, we develop a new traffic scheduling algorithm suitable for multi-source and multi-sink networks. According to traffic transmission rate and network structure information, it selects the optimal path to transmit traffic and achieve load balance. When the traffic or source nodes change in the network, the paths and traffic are adjusted as needed to ensure the overall optimum. To evaluate the performance on efficiency, we perform a series of simulations and the results indicate the advantages of the proposed algorithm.
