tailieunhanh - Gossip based energy aware routing algorithm for wireless sensor network

In this paper we propose three routing schemes based on the well-known Gossiping protocol. The proposed algorithms are evaluated in terms of different parameters by simulation tools. The achieved results of simulations show performance improvement of network operation in terms of network lifetime, delay and packet loss compared to Gossiping and FELGossiping algorithms. | International Journal of Computer Networks and Communications Security VOL. 3, NO. 4, APRIL 2015, 164–172 Available online at: E-ISSN 2308-9830 (Online) / ISSN 2410-0595 (Print) Gossip-Based Energy Aware Routing Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Network , and 1 Faculty of Computer Engineering, Najafabad Branch, Islamic Azad University, Isfahan, Iran 2 3 Assistant Professor, Faculty of Engineering, Shahrekord University, ShahreKord, Iran Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Architecture, Faculty of Computer Engineering, University of Isfahan, Isfahan, Iran E-mail: , , ABSTRACT Many advances have been made in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) which are as varied as the applications; and many more are in progress. There are some intrinsic limitations related to WSNs, including scarcity of energy supply, limited processing ability, and lack of processing memory. One of the important considerations of network designers is to devise protocols and algorithms in order to tackle with mentioned restrictions. Among different algorithm categories, routing protocols have direct impact on energy consumption and life time of the network. In this paper we propose three routing schemes based on the well-known Gossiping protocol. The proposed algorithms are evaluated in terms of different parameters by simulation tools. The achieved results of simulations show performance improvement of network operation in terms of network lifetime, delay and packet loss compared to Gossiping and FELGossiping algorithms.
