Improving the lifetime of wireless sensor network through energy proficient AODV protocol

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is an emerging technology, which enables new innovative trends and equipments to resolve the issues of current and future world. The WSN is a combination of tiny sensor nodes equipped with a minimal battery power, mini processor and a RAM. The battery is non-rechargeable in nature and thus the need for energy efficiency becomes a vital task for WSN. This paper deals with improving the energy efficiency through Energy Proficient AODV protocol (EP-AODV). The proposed work utilizes minimal energy, power amplification and efficient routing technique to improve lifetime of the network. Comparison of EP-AODV with other existing schemes, EP-AODV achieves better throughput, energy efficient, First-Nod-Dies ratio and so on. Thus, the proposed EP-AODV protocol achieves better energy efficient protocol for WSN.
