Design and analysis of energy efficient cooperative routing algorithm for wireless sensor networks

Abstract

Wireless communications have experienced speedy and technical newlinedevelopment in this modern era. Significant improvements are required in newlineterms of communication speed link, energy level, size of the device, network newlinelifetime and applications for different generations of wireless devices. Due to newlinethe advancement in technical development, the researchers have started to newlinedevelop wireless network architectures from the conventional method of data newlinecommunication using point-to-point basis with a centralized Base Station newline(BS) controller. In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), the conventional newlinemethod of data communication in the network is instituted and this allows the newlinenodes to forward data through other nodes in the communication network and newlinecreate new communication paths that involve several wireless hops in the newlinecommunication network. Recently, there has been an uprise in cooperative newlinecommunication. This promising methodology plays an important role in newlinerelieving wireless channel fading, as well as, recuperating steadfastness in newlinenetworks which permit nodes that allow cooperation among them. The nodes newlineshare data in cooperative communication by exploiting the communication in newlinetheir broadcasting nature. newlineThe design and analyze of Minimum Power Least Cost Routing newline(MPLCR) algorithm has been performed in the next chapter. The following newlinemethods have been considered for designing the proposed algorithm; link newlinecomputation, the sequential scanning algorithm technique, and balance newline(residual) energy. The link computation is used for finding the optimal path newline(relay node) to avoid link failures and to reduce the traffic in the network newline
