Energy Efficient Routing Scheme for WSN

Aman Preet Singh ^[2] | Harsimran Kaur ^[5]

Abstract: Wireless Sensor Networks are being wildly popular for large number of applications for military healthcare, weather, etc. WSNs have promised to be one of the convincing areas of Research and Development. A variety of applications such as monitoring battlefield, medical, consumer and industrial use, etc have shown its significant contribution in WSN. Routing is one of the fundamental aspects in wired and wireless communication, which permits transfer of data from source to destination. The existing routing scheme is based upon the energy based metric calculation scheme, which carries some drawbacks. Such as, the existing scheme is based upon the energy based metric. The existing model proposes the use of tree-based routing structure. In this paper, we have proposed the use of remaining energy in terms of percentage and remaining lifetime with multiple other factors for the effective and energy efficient routing in the WSNs. The performance of the proposed scheme will be measured using the latency, load, reliability, etc.

Keywords: WSN, routing, energy based routing, residual energy, heterogeneous WSNs
