Multistage energy efficient cooperative routing technique for wireless ad-hoc networks

Abstract

In the recent years cooperative communication and routing has drawn the attention of the researchers primarily on the energy efficacy aspect in a general wireless networks. The lifetime of the network and energy utilization need to be improved in wireless communication network. The cooperative model has proved to be one of the best techniques for enhancement of network lifetime and also energy balancing among the nodes in wireless networks. In this research article proposes a novel multistage energy efficient cooperative routing technique which enhances the lifetime and energy efficiency. The multistage cooperative model is designed to find the set of neighboring nodes which cooperatively participate for transmission. Later the cost of link matrix is calculated for those set of cooperative nodes. The multistage cooperative routing mechanism is proposed based on multistage cooperative model and optimal link cost to minimize the routing cost. The simulation results of the proposed scheme shows that, it has enhanced energy efficiency and the lifetime of network for various number of performance metrics. The results obtained may be compared with the existing techniques.
