Abstract

In WSN, a mobile node needs to depend on intermediate mobile nodes to achieve content acquisition. Due to the mobility of nodes and the big size of multimedia content, it is significant to shorten content acquisition latency in WSN. This paper extends multihoming to WSN and aims to take advantage of multihoming to reduce content acquisition latency. In order to solve the multiple address configuration issue in multihoming, this paper proposes the address separation mechanism. Based on this mechanism, a mobile node can be configured with multiple addresses via one addressing process, so the addressing latency can be substantially reduced. In order to take advantage of multihoming to achieve content acquisition, this paper extends the k-anycast communication model to WSN so that a mobile node can use multiple addresses with different network prefixes to acquire different parts of one kind of content from multiple optimal k-anycast members in parallel. Consequently, the content acquisition latency can be reduced. This proposal is evaluated and the data results show that the content acquisition latency is shortened.
