Abstract:
The traffic load balance, the interferences reduction, and the security during the routing phase in wireless sensor network (WSN) are investigated in this paper. In our work, we suppose that the network’s nodes are sensing some events which generate heavy data that must be carried over several packets. We propose a routing protocol which takes use of the Blockchain technology to offer a shared memory between network’s nodes. These nodes are considered as coins which the ownership transacts between the source nodes and the sink. All the transactions are stored in the Blockchain as a mean to share the network’s status, in real time. In order to select the optimal path, we introduce a cost function which considers the load density and interferences level at each node. Furthermore, we are taking advantage of the Blockchain security to secure the selected paths in the network. The simulation results have shown that this solution could be applicable and could resolve the issues cited above.
