The participating nodes in WSNs are usually equipped with a single radio interface. The existing solutions lack in providing the efficient next forwarder selection in NDN-based single radio WSNs. In this work, we propose a collaborative Interest and Data Forwarding (CIDF-WSN) Strategy for Named Data Wireless Sensor Networks. CIDF-WSN develop a Neighbor Information Base (NFIB) which enables the node to select the optimal next-hop relay in Interest packet forwarding. An efficient Interest packet processing mechanism assisted by the Interest Cache Table (ICT) is provided to avoid Interest packets loss and frequent re-transmissions. In addition, CIDF-WSN also provides a robust Data packet transfer mechanism accompanied by the Temp Cache Table (TCT) to avoid Data packet losses and to ensure well-timed content delivery. Simulation results reveal that CIDF-WSN outperforms the recently published works in terms of Interest satisfaction rate, total energy consumption, Data retrieval delays, and communication overhead.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21155174","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,1]],"date-time":"2021-08-01T21:44:32Z","timestamp":1627854272000},"page":"5174","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["CIDF-WSN: A Collaborative Interest and Data Forwarding Strategy for Named Data Wireless Sensor Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2358-5657","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhammad Salah ud","family":"din","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics & Computer Engineering, Hongik University, Sejong City 30016, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6812-8620","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhammad Atif Ur","family":"Rehman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics & Computer Engineering, Hongik University, Sejong City 30016, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9824-1950","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Byung-Seo","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Software and Communications Engineering, Hongik University, Sejong City 30016, Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"13799","DOI":"10.1109\/ACCESS.2017.2728623","article-title":"Energy and Congestion-Aware Routing Metric for Smart Grid AMI Networks in Smart City","volume":"5","author":"Ullah","year":"2017","journal-title":"IEEE Access"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"552","DOI":"10.1109\/JSEN.2019.2940186","article-title":"Accurate Empirical Path-Loss Model Based on Particle Swarm Optimization for Wireless Sensor Networks in Smart Agriculture","volume":"20","author":"Jawad","year":"2020","journal-title":"IEEE Sens.
