POC - Path Operator Calculus

This measure proposes an alternative solution to route optimization problems by using the multi-constrained optimal path (MCOP) approach. A new metric called path operator calculus (POC) is proposed as an alternative way to determine nodes with high centrality in wireless sensor network deployment. The estimation of this new metric is based on network topology by using the operator calculus approach, which produces the feasible paths for each node to the sink node. In order to define the path centrality of the network, the proposed approach takes into account two constraints for each node: energy and bit error rate (BER).
