A hybrid energy efficient reactive multipath routing for wireless sensor network

Abstract

The efficiency of the wireless sensor network (WSN) can be evaluated by using various factors such as lifetime of the network, number of dead nodes, number of alive nodes, throughput of the network etc. All these factors are highly influenced by CH and route formation process as the election of right node for CH and route is quite tedious task to perform. Thus a large number of researches has been conducted in previous years. Few of the previous approaches have been discussed in this study and it is analyzed that the traditional HEEMP approach in quite effective to enhance the network lifetime but has a weak data communication and transmission strategy. Thus a novel approach is developed in this work by using the traditional HEEMP approach. The modification in the proposed work is done in terms of data gathering and data transmission strategy. Only the relevant and meaningful data packets are transmitted to the BS. The performance analysis of the proposed and traditional HEEMP protocol is compared and proposed work is found to be effective than the HEEMP protocol in terms of lifetime of the network.
