Abstract

The article discusses the development of a communication protocol that provides consistent security and reliability during data exchange in sensor networks. Different communication technologies are supported. The motivation for this work is presented against the background of contemporary communication technologies and capabilities. The article summarizes relevant application constraints. The capabilities of popular communication technologies are briefly analyzed. Typical sensor networks serve as examples. Work on the protocol design begins with identifying important network features that serve as requirements. The design and implementation work continues with establishing a suitable packet structure, packet processing strategies, and an overall communication flow between the nodes in the network. A concept for packet routing in large networks with different communication technologies is developed and presented. The strengths and weaknesses are summarized and discussed after testing and assessment. Future work will include enhancing protocol features to improve practical applicability in different scenarios.
