Overlapping FSS-Based Energy-Efficient Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks
Abhishek Narwaria, Arka Prokash Mazumdar · 2023
Forwarding Search Space (FSS) in position-based routing for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) controls unneces-sary transmissions, thereby balancing the sensor nodes' energy consumption. This research article aims to improve energy efficiency by considering the overlapping Forwarding Search Space (FSS) of two nodes simultaneously sending data to the base station. The article first introduces a mathematical model to represent the problem scenario. It then presents simulation results demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed mecha-nism and other existing methods in reducing transmissions and balancing energy consumption among sensor nodes. The study considers metrics such as nodes in FSS, number of dead nodes, network lifetime, and number of messages for evaluating the performance of these methods.
