Secure energy efficient load balancing multipath routing protocol with power management for wireless sensor networks
Munasa Yuvaraju, K. Sheela Sobana Rani · 2014
Wired network nodes have direct connection with the power source. But wireless sensor nodes depend on the on-board battery for power. Two different things can be done to increase the operational lifetime of the WSN. First one is efficient energy utilization. Second one is attachment of power generating devices. This paper proceeds with efficient energy utilization by proposing a new multipath routing protocol called tS EL(Secure Energy Efficient Load Balancing Multipath Routing Protocol with Transmission Power Adjustment). Single path routing protocols may lead to holes in the network due to improper load distribution among the nodes. Multi path routing protocols will lead to better load balancing than single path routing protocols. tSEL protocol selects node disjoint multiple paths and shares load among the paths effectively by following a new load sharing mechanism. tS EL provides security through RS A public key algorithm and MD5 hash algorithm.
