Abstract
In the near future, the Internet of NanoThings will enable the emerging of several unprecedented applications in several fields, which are until now unimaginable, and can not be realized with traditional communication networks. Software-Defined Metamaterials (SDMs) is a promising application recently proposed in the industrial field of smart materials, where a network of nanodevices is embedded in the structure of metamaterials, to allow the latter to change their electromagnetic behavior (e.g., cloaking, filtering and steering of sound and light) at runtime. Despite the routing schemes proposed for SDMs could cope with the unique challenges in the nanonetworks, such as the very high path loss and the extremely poor data computing and storing capabilities, there is no point-to-point routing scheme that directly considers the limited stored energy capabilities. The present work proposes three versions of an adjusted flood-based point-to-point routing scheme for static and dense 2D nanonetworks. These schemes aim to enhance the pioneering routing scheme proposed by Liaskos et al. in terms of energy efficiency while keeping high communication reliability. The results of extensive simulations over various performance scenarios using nano-sim tool on NS-3 show the advantages of the proposed schemes in terms of energy consumption, successful packet delivery ratio and forwarding packet rate.
