Investigation on routing protocol using modified micro genetic algorithm in wireless sensor network for video applications

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have acquired global newlineexploration in recent times on account of the developments made in the newlinedomain of data and communication approaches and the electronics domain. A newlineWSN is an aggregation of sensor nodes that are remotely employed in newlineenormous numbers, operating autonomously in an ignored environment, and newlinehave limited energy resources. These small sensor nodes sense and progress newlinethe sensed information and transfer this data to a base station or sink via a newlineradio frequency (RF) channel. The tiny size of these sensors is a benefit as newlinethey can be simply embedded within any equipment or in a part of the newlineenvironment. This characteristic has attracted the adoption of WSNs in newlinenumerous applications, particularly in monitoring and keeping track of them; newlinehowever, this small size of sensor nodes limits the resource abilities. newlineGenerally, the WSNs are equipped in application domains where newlinehuman interference is quite dangerous or tough. The sensed data might be newlinenecessary to take crucial opinions in emergency applications. Hence, newlinesupporting the connectivity of the network is of extreme significance. The newlineefficient utilization of the accessible resources to the maximum extent is a newlineneed to prolong the network lifetime. If any node exhausts out of power, the newlinecomplete network connectivity collapses, and that means the arrangement newlinemight become useless. In view of this purpose, most of the research in the newlinefield of WSNs has concentrated on energy efficiency in which the design of newlineenergy-efficient routing protocols performs a significant role. newlineWireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is comprised of low-power newlineequipment that is distributed in geographically isolated domains. Sensors are newlineorganized in group of clusters. Each cluster elucidates a vital node that is newlinedesignated as a cluster head (CH). Every CH accumulates the sensed newlineinformation from its sensor nodes to be transmitted to a base station (BS). newlineSensors are employed with batteries that cannot be exchanged. newline newline
