Wireless Sensor Networks consist of a large population of sensor nodes capable of computation, communication and sensing. Limited energy resource is the inherent limitation of Wireless Sensor Network, Most routing algorithms for Sensor Network focus on energy efficient paths, Due to this, power in the sensor, along the energy efficient paths gets depleted very quickly, and therefore Sensor Netw...

In recent years, many approaches and techniques have been explored for the optimization of energy usage in wireless sensor networks. Routing is one of these areas in which attempts for efficient utilization of energy have been made. These attempts use fixed (crisp) metrics for making energy-aware routing decisions. In this paper, we present a generalized fuzzy logic based approach for energy-aw...

This paper presents an energy aware routing protocol (EARP) whose purpose is to minimise a metric that combines the total consumed power in the network and the QoS bounds requested by the incoming flows. The algorithm performs in a fully distributed manner thanks to the functionalities provided by the Cognitive Packet Network (CPN) which runs at each node of the network. Measurements on an expe...

This work evaluates the performance of Consumed-Energy-Type-Aware Routing (CETAR) which incorporates the amount of energy consumed per type of operation for routing decision to extend the lifetime of the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). CETAR makes routing decision using statistics of the energy consumed for each type of node activities including sensing, data processing, data transmission as a...

Ad hoc networks are non-infrastructure networks which consist of mobile nodes. Since the mobile nodes have limited battery power, it is very important to use energy efficiently in ad hoc networks. In order to maximize the lifetime of ad hoc networks, traffic should be sent via a route that can be avoid nodes with low energy while minimizing the total transmission power. In addition, considering...

An Ad-hoc network is a collection of multi-hop wireless nodes that communicate with each other without centralized controlling or without fixed infrastructure, dynamically formed by an autonomous system of mobile nodes that are connected via wireless links. The battery power is very scarce resource in this network. The network lifetime and connectivity of nodes depend on battery power. Due to e...

This paper presents a cross-layer algorithm for joint routing, scheduling, and power control in wireless sensor networks. We consider the case of energy-constrained sensor nodes that continually communicate data packets to a common base station. The objective is to reduce energy consumption of individual nodes and the overall network without severely degrading network throughput. Our cross-laye...

Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANET) are consisting of nodes that have limited battery power so the energy efficiency is one of the primary metrics of interest. Energy efficient routing is a major issue in MANET. This paper proposed an Energy efficient power aware multipath dynamic source routing protocol by modifying one of the most popular routing protocols that is Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) prot...

Geographical and Energy Aware Routing (GEAR) is an efficient routing protocol in wireless sensor networks (WSN). It behaves well in the face of routing attacks, but it is incapable of defending bogus routing information, sybil attack and selective forwarding. Aimed at this problem, this paper present a location pairwise keys bootstrap scheme based secure geographical and energy aware routing pr...
