Energy-Balanced Distance-Based Routing Algorithm in Wireless Sensor Networks
Qiang Xian, Wan Ting Zhang · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2014
In routing process, individual distance is regarded as the primary parameter in order to adjust the energy consumption. In this paper, we build a time and distance-based system model, and effectively design route setup and route maintenance phase. An Energy-balanced Distance-based Routing Algorithm (EDRA) is put forward to maximize network lifetime. Simulation results demonstrate that the EDRA effectively prolongs the network lifetime and reduces the energy consumption than other routing algorithms.
