Abstract: Due to the increased demand of wireless sensor networks for their characteristics like low energy consumption, robustness, and low cost in several demanding and complex applications like smart grid, health and safety, traffic and weather updates, there is need of monitoring the infrastructure in a timely manner with high reliability. In this article, a cross-layer data communication scheme target-aware cross-layer technique is proposed to enhance reliability and to reduce the latency in wireless sensor networks. The proposed scheme uses connected dominating set at network layer where nodes in the connected dominating set are directly connected to all the other nodes in the network. Each sensor node sends the data to the nodes present in the connected dominating set, which forwards it to their respective destinations. The proposed scheme reduces the chances of collision resulting reduced delays. Higher packet delivery ratio is achieved with the proposed scheme results in improved reliability. The proposed scheme is outperforming other state-of-the-art schemes in terms of packet delivery ratio, latency, and data throughput with the default 802.15.4 and delay-responsive cross layer in both static and mobile scenarios using network simulator tool.
