Energy efficient service differentiated QoS aware routing in cluster-based wireless sensor network

Abstract

In today's technological era, WSNs has gained attention worldwide with its miniature size and low cost. Data transmission demands both energy and quality of service (QoS) to ensure efficient use of the sensors and adequate access to collecting information. Lot of research work in literature has been focused on QoS provisioning by differentiated service technique that differentiates and priorities different traffic classes to meet the user requirements. Our work toward scheduling based on packet type providing high priority to emergency data to facilitate reliable transmission of emergency data in critical situations. We proposed an approach for effective sensing by use of stochastic scheduling to increase the energy efficiency of sensor nodes for intracluster communication. The proposed technique in this work outperforms when compared with the existing protocol in the literature in terms of minimised energy consumption, delay and high throughput by offloading of the energy-intensive tasks.
