Sub-optimal Distance Based Multi-hop Routing Algorithm and Analysis for Sensor Networks
Gao Xin-he · 2008
In the wireless sensor networks,saving energy is an important aim.It introduces an optimum radio range,considering the balance between the transmission energy consumption and the receiving energy consumption to minimize the energy consumption in multi-hop communication.Then a sub-optimal distance based multi-hop routing algorithm is proposed,in which the relay is selected randomly in a local circle.Thus,the sensor nodes near the optimum radio range are selected as the relays.Simulations show that the algorithm can save more energy and prolong the network lifetime.
