Energy Aware Multiuser Multi-hop Hierarchical-Based Routing Protocol for Energy Management in WSN-Assisted IoT

摘要

Wireless Sensor Networks are the efficient technology to build the monitoring system which consists of spatially distributed sensor nodes which are inherently resource constrained. WSN are the typical part of IoT-A network of physical objects or 'things' that can interact with each other to share information via 'internet'. WSN-Assisted IoT has numerous constraints which it makes difficult to directly employ the conventional routing protocols. Energy is one of the biggest constraint for a WSN-assisted IoT. Communication between sensor nodes consumes most of available power much more than that of the sensing and computation. Therefore, they require efficient energy management techniques to prolong the lifetime of the network. In this paper, we propose a energy aware multiuser & multi-hop hierarchical-based routing protocol (EAMMH-RP) includes multi-hop communication in which evenly distribute the energy load among all sensor nodes in cluster formation, a new series of algorithms for adapting & rotating clusters and a new mechanism to reduce the energy consumption for long-distance communication. Multi-hop in which it uses relay nodes for transmitting the information to the base station (BS). Our simulation results shows that EAMMH-RP performs much better than EECRP using MATLAB and in addition EAMMH-RP is well suitable for the networks that requires along lifetime.
