摘要:A routing protocolis a core issue in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) especially on undetermined situationand crucial condition to guarantee thetransmission of data. Therefore, any implementation ofroutingprotocolina tunnel environmentwill suit with their application to minimize dropped data in itscommunication.This paper presentsabiological routing protocol named asBiological Tunnel RoutingProtocol (BioTROP) inTunnelWireless SensorNetwork (TWSN).BioTROP has been tested withfourchallengingsituationsfor marking its standardsoon.Bysettingit inlow power transmission,all nodesappear as source node andintermediate nodesconcurrently, faster transmission rate and free-locationsetup for each node;these conditionsmake BioTROPas anad-hocprotocol with lightweight coding size intunnelenvironment.Thisprotocol istested only in real test bed experimentusing7TelosB nodes at apredetermined distance.The results have shown more than 70 percent of the transmitted data packets weresuccessfully delivered at the base station.
