Implementation and evaluation of on-demand address allocation for event-driven sensor network

In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient address allocation method for the event-driven sensor network, and implement and evaluate the proposed method. The proposed method allocates a temporary address only to a sensor node which detects an event, on an on-demand basis. By performing simulation studies, we evaluated the proposed method and compared it with one of the existing methods from the perspective of the number of control messages for the address allocation. The results show that the number of control messages of the proposed method is small compared to that of the existing methods. We also evaluated the processing time overhead of the proposed method using the implemented system. Although the proposed method has little extra overhead, the results show the processing time is short enough for practical use.
