A data dissemination scheme for a wireless nanosensor network towards IoNT

Nanotechnology has gained significant importance in many fields, especially biological, industrial, military, and environmental sectors. Rapid advancements in nanotechnology have led to the development of wireless nanosensor networks (WNSNs). Most researchers focus on addressing resource limitations constraints and ignore the dynamic channel state. Therefore, in this paper, we design a fine-grained, lightweight, and energy-efficient end-to-end data dissemination scheme for WNSN that takes into consideration the dynamic channel state problem and energy efficiency. Simulation results showed that the proposed scheme outperforms TEForward in terms of energy consumption and packet delivery ratio. The effect of employing multiple gateways is also investigated.
