ENERGY AWARE ROUTING FOR WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS

Abstract

Wireless sensor networks are used in improving conditions in the practical field and real life which lead researchers and developers to further research it and work into improving this field. These networks consist of sensor nodes that can help acquire data and information about temperature and pressure dependent on the environment of the location which are sent from. After all that, we are bounded by a really important factor which can determine everything which is Energy. Since sensor nodes send data and information to web applications, they need an energy source to operate. Their main energy source is their batteries which offer limited source of energy. Hence, various protocols are introduced to help in many parameters of a wireless sensor network such as increasing lifetime and decreasing consumption of energy, in other words, increasing the Energy Efficiency (EF). In this paper, we evaluate consumption of average energy for various protocols used in this context after each complete logical round for these protocols, such as Energy Efficient Clustering Scheme and Stable Election Protocol. Finally, we used Matlab tool to generate results which indicate that the protocol used in this paper is efficient and reliable.
