Dengyin Zhang, Zhen Wei Xie, Guo Dong Cui · Advanced materials research · 2013
For the current routing algorithm based on the geographic location information, the energy consumption is high and uneven. To address the problem, we propose an energy balance routing protocol (GEBR) based on the geographical location information, using a virtual sink technology to balance the node energy consumption within the scope of gateway communication. Simulation results show that compared with GEAR protocol, the GEBR protocol postponed the generation of energy hole, balanced energy consumption, effectively prolong the network lifetime.
