Minimizing Delay and Maximizing Network Lifetime by Power-Aware Energy Efficient Routing [PAEER] Mechanism in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

We propose an efficient routing mechanism called PAEER (Power-Aware Energy Efficient Routing) for meeting Network Lifetime Maximization and energy efficiency in the Wireless Sensor Networks(WSN). The different contributions of the PAEER approach are following (a) Multisink node approach which can lead to increase the nodes network lifetime and event detection mechanism that meets reliability requirement of the WSN (b) Using PAEER mechanism sends the data to sink node by covering multi-path routes to aggregate the nodes data. Thus energy consumption of the WSN can be reduced maximum level therefore network lifetime increased. This can be proved both theoretical and experiment solutions can be better when compared to other solutions. By using Network Simulator-3 (NS-3) testbed the results show the better results for the all Quality of Service parameters (QoS) like Throughput, Network Lifetime, Power Consumption, etc.
