  4. Abstract:
  5. Flooding algorithm is one of the most significant algorithms used in sensor networks. Although simple, this algorithm causes a large amount of energy and bandwidth to be wasted. The most important application of flooding is RREQ flooding in initial step of most routing algorithms. Although simple, this algorithm causes a large amount of energy and bandwidth to be wasted. Most previous efficient flooding algorithms use location information which is impossible for simple node in sensor network. Some others are not suitable for RREQ flooding due to eliminating redundant retransmissions. We present a modified flooding that simultaneously decreases energy consumption as well as network delay. This flooding algorithm is a form of cross layer algorithm which uses physical layer information to be more efficient in time and energy. It is shown that the proposed algorithm can save a significant amount of energy while reducing the settling time delay. © 2005 IEEE
