This paper presents FERMA, a novel geocasting protocol designed for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) that efficiently delivers interest messages to multiple target regions. Traditional flooding methods increase network traffic and energy consumption, making them inefficient. By applying the concept of the Fermat Point, FERMA minimizes data transmission latency and bandwidth usage through a shared path that reduces the number of interest messages sent. Performance evaluations demonstrate significant improvements in energy consumption and packet overhead compared to existing protocols.

Outline • Introduction • Background and Motivation • Proposed scheme: FERMA • Performance Evaluation • Conclusion
Introduction • In WSN, a query (interest) is used to have sensor nodes collect data and return these sensing data • Flooding mechanism • Increases network traffic and leads inefficient energy consumption • Geographical propagation • One single target region
Introduction • Objective • Efficiently deliver interest messages to multiple target regions • Latency • Bandwidth consumption • Method • Send interest just once at the sink node • Suitable shared path • Multiple packet transmissions toward different target regions • Data aggregation • Fermat Point • Entrance nodes
Background and Motivation • What is the point such that the sum of its distances from the vertices of a triangle is a minimum? • Fermat point
Background and Motivation-Fermat point • Fermat Point is the point such that the sum of its distances from the vertices of a triangle is a minimum
Background and Motivation-Fermat point • One of the internal angles of ΔABC is 120° or more • Fail to construct the Fermat Point • Fermat Point is drawn outside of the triangle
