A Modified MPRR Protocol for WSN in Agricultural Scenario

Abstract

This paper analyses the use of a WSN for agricultural scenario, referencing to the modality of communication between the network nodes, and proposes a modified version of Multipath Ring Routing (MPRR) to improve performances and robustness of the network on the long period. Through simulations with Castalia, some limits of the standard MPRR have been highlighted, and through the possibility to modify the algorithm itself, improvements have been made that make the modified MPRR suitable for our scenario.
