Research on Multi-Hop Routing Protocol of Wireless Sensor Networks Based on Gradients

摘要

The purposes of this paper are to lower the energy consumption in the wireless sensor network and to prolong network life cycle. Based on the maximum power a node can transmit, a multi-hop routing algorithm is proposed in this paper on the basis of gradients. We conducted a simulative experiment on the improved algorithm we proposed through MATLAB, and the results indicate that compared with LEACH algorithm and HEED algorithm, algorithm proposed in this paper is greatly improved in terms of energy consumption in the network and network life cycle.
