# CONE: A Connected Dominating Set-Based Flooding Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks
## 3 Design and Implementation of CONE
### Flooding Protocol
Additionally, we are interested in applying CONE on the top of concurrent transmission protocols, e.g., Glossy [28] and DeCoT [29]. Then, we are curious to compare CONE to the machine learning-based flooding protocol,

Figure 11:0 Comparison of energy consumption between CONE and the baseline protocol Trickle in FlockLab experiments. The dashed blue line shows the average energy consumption of all nodes in CONE while the dashed red line indicates the corresponding value in Trickle. e.g., LiM [30], which floods packets based on a superset of CDS in the network, and to further evaluate the performance of both. [PERSON] and [PERSON] conceived the idea of this research; [PERSON] designed the research methodology; [PERSON] performed the experiments and analyzed the data; [PERSON], [PERSON] and [PERSON] wrote the article. This research was supported by the German Research Foundation through the Research Training Group DFG-GRK 1765: System Correctness under Adverse Conditions (SCARE, www.uni-oldenburg.de/scare). We would like to thank the Computer Engineering Group at ETH Zurich for providing and maintaining the FlockLab testbed. The authors declare no conflict of interest. ## References
