Efficient Adaptive Routing Algorithm for WSNs with Sink Mobility

摘要

Some of the application of WSNs such as disaster management and battlefield control demand fast data delivery, adaptable to network dynamism, and recovery from node failure. The proposed work aims overcoming the energy issues, recovers from node failure, and balances the power consumption of nodes while transferring data from source to sink. Optimal route is selected on the basis of minimum distance and minimum transmission energy required. Multi-hop technique is preferred for routing as it consumes less power. Comparing the results with dynamic source routing protocol (DSR), it could be inferred that proposed model is efficient in terms of power consumption; it has better network lifetime and throughput.
