A New Approach to Improve Energy Consumption Time and Life Time using Energy Based Routing in WSN

Abstract

A Wireless Sensor network (WSN) is comprised of numerous sensors that assist in the monitoring of physical environments, temperature of various applications, vibration, gravity, and signal detectors that relay data to the main node or center, which then processes the information. The key feature of sensor nodes in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is their low energy requirements and the simple processing capabilities. Therefore, an efficient use of resources is imperative in WSN-based applications. In this study a proposal for a new approach to maximize the sensor node lifetime is being reviewed. Once a route has been discovered, the network uses the shortest path algorithm. During routing, it searches for the energy nodes and adopts the direction of energy thereby changing the path from the shortest to that based on the energy level. The sensor values that have the most remaining energy will be chosen as the secondary path. This study identifies that the proposed method performs up to three times better than the existing outing method that is being followed.
