The neighbor discovery is not an one-time event because the network topology can be changed anytime due to node mobility and failure. The neighbor discovery protocol helps sensor nodes to find neighboring sensors within their communication range. This study proposes a novel neighbor discovery protocol called the prime-number-assisted block-based neighbor discovery protocol, which intelligently changes the sensor schedules based on the greater common divisor of two sensors\u2019 discovery cycle lengths. For example, for two sensors whose duty cycles are different, if the lengths of their discovery schedules are relatively prime, the prime-number-assisted block-based neighbor discovery protocol simply uses the balanced incomplete block design\u2013based neighbor discovery protocol without adding any additional active slots; otherwise, it changes the original balanced incomplete block design\u2013based schedule using a prime number. In this study, we compare the performances of prime-number-assisted block-based neighbor discovery protocol and other recently proposed neighbor discovery protocols (U-Connect, Disco, SearchLight, and Hedis) using a TOSSIM simulator. The experimental results confirm the superiority of prime-number-assisted block-based neighbor discovery protocol over other neighbor discovery protocols in terms of discovery latency and energy consumptions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1550147719826240","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,29]],"date-time":"2019-01-29T09:38:36Z","timestamp":1548754716000},"page":"155014771982624","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Prime-number-assisted block-based neighbor discovery protocol in wireless sensor networks"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0065-1682","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Woosik","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Major of Computer Science, Kyonggi University, Suwon, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jong-Hoon","family":"Youn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, University of Nebraska Omaha, Omaha, NE, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6216-6212","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Teukseob","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Convergence Computer and Media, Mokwon University, Daejeon, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1550147719826240","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/TMC.2006.134"},{"issue":"7","key":"bibr2-1550147719826240","first-page":"1437","volume":"20","author":"Lee WS","year":"2006","journal-title":"IEEE Commun Lett"},{"key":"bibr3-1550147719826240","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/B:MONE.0000048553.45798.5e"},{"first-page":"185","volume-title":"Proceedings of 18th annual international conference on mobile computing and networking (MobiCom \u201912)","author":"Bakht M","key":"bibr4-1550147719826240"},{"first-page":"693","volume-title":"Proceedings of IEEE international conference on computer communications (INFOCOM)","author":"Chen L","key":"bibr5-1550147719826240"},{"key":"bibr6-1550147719826240","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1142\/3254"},{"first-page":"71","volume-title":"Proceedings of 6th ACM conference on embedded network sensor systems","author":"Dutta P","key":"bibr7-1550147719826240"},{"first-page":"350","volume-title":"Proceedings of 9th ACM\/IEEE international conference on information processing in sensor networks (IPSN \u201910)","author":"Kandhalu A","key":"bibr8-1550147719826240"},{"key":"bibr9-1550147719826240","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.14257\/ijca.2015.8.3.07"},{"key":"bibr10-1550147719826240","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.14257\/ijca.2017.10.1.35"},{"first-page":"287","volume-title":"Proceedings of 16th ACM\/IEEE international conference on information processing in sensor networks (IPSN \u201917)","author":"Youn JH","key":"bibr11-1550147719826240"},{"key":"bibr12-1550147719826240","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"39","DOI":"10.1093\/oso\/9780198500292.003.0002","volume-title":"Combinatorial designs and tournaments","author":"Anderson I.","year":"1997"},{"first-page":"126","volume-title":"Proceedings of 1st international conference on embedded networked sensor systems (SenSys \u201903)","author":"Levis P","key":"bibr14-1550147719826240"},{"key":"bibr15-1550147719826240","unstructured":"The Network Simulator - ns-2, https:\/\/www.isi.edu\/nsnam\/ns\/"},{"volume-title":"A comparison of the architecture of network simulators NS-2 and TOSSIM","year":"2005","author":"Karl M.","key":"bibr16-1550147719826240"},{"first-page":"35","volume-title":"Proceedings of 3rd ACM workshop on performance monitoring and measurement of heterogeneous wireless and wired networks","author":"Perla E","key":"bibr17-1550147719826240"},{"key":"bibr18-1550147719826240","unstructured":"Texas Instruments.
