| dcterms.abstract | This thesis aims to find out whether a centralized routing protocol with a dynamic routing table could perform as well as a decentralized routing protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Towards this goal, a Software-defined Networking (SDN) based protocol is proposed and its performance is measured against a popular decentralized routing protocol, Control Tree Protocol (CTP). The goal is to investigate whether an implementation of SDN in a sensor network would offer WSN applications an advantage by compromising on autonomy to possibly increase efficiency and application diversity. This thesis shows that, although the performance of the SDN-based protocol is inferior than that of a decentralized protocol, it offers more flexibility in terms dynamic variations to node function by updating a routing table as opposed to manually reprogramming a node to perform a different task as in the case of a traditional decentralized routing protocol. The proposed SDN-based implementation is a novel idea to the extent of our knowledge. We did not find any other such implementation in our literature survey. | |
