A study on optimized power consumption routing in Wireless Sensor Networks

摘要

Two extensively studied and analyzed factors related to Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are optimization of power or energy consumption of node or network and efficient routing mechanism for data transfer between sensor nodes. These two aspects play a major role in the effectiveness and efficiency of the WSN being deployed. This paper, is a study of these aspects of WSN and the various mechanisms that have been proposed to provide an efficient network with reasonable functional time. In this paper, (i) we have studied the various factors that affect the energy consumption of the node and modeled it in a layered approach for better understanding (ii) we have created a framework for the Power Optimized Network Protocol
