Abstract
In this paper, we assume that sensor nodes in a wireless sensor network cooperate by posting their information to a distributed virtual shared information space that is built on the basis of advanced XML technology. Using a flooding protocol to maintain the shared information space is an obvious solution, but flooding must be tightly controlled, because sensor nodes suffer from severe resource constraints. For this purpose we propose a content-based flooding control approach (”XCast”) whose performance is analyzed in the paper both analytically and by ns2 simulations. Results show that already a generic XCast instance effectively controls the number of messages generated in a sensor network. It is argued that application-specific XCast instances may expose an even better behavior.
