FUMOR: FUzzy Multi-hOp Routing for Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

In order to increase the life time of wireless sensor networks, using hierarchical methods which transfer its data toward sink through multi-hop would be suitable and significantly decreases the energy consumption, Also the management of networks with a lot of Nodes would be done much better. In this paper we have presented fuzzy hierarchy method FUMOR (Fuzzy Multi-hop Routing for Wireless sensor network) and the goal is to increase the life time of the network. The fuzzy logic which has a great control power is to control uncertain conditions used to choose gateway (cluster head). FUMOR method toward node data through multi-hop to increase network life time. In our proposed method we used factors like: Energy Parameters, relative Distance and Level of the Nodes as the inputs of fuzzy module. The stimulations have shown that the proposed idea has a good efficiency.
