🔧 1. VRSMT: Steiner Minimum Tree-Based Routing Protocol for WSN
Sponsor: Tamil Nadu State Council for Science and Technology (TNSCST)
Year: 2017
Role: Principal Investigator
Summary:
This project proposed and implemented a novel routing protocol – VRSMT – to mitigate data transmission bottlenecks in Wireless Sensor Networks. By using Steiner Tree logic, the protocol improved energy efficiency, minimized redundant hops, and extended network lifetime in clustered WSN environments.
