| Summary: | Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is evolving as a leading technology in the
next generation of wireless communication systems. Energy optimization in WSN is
an important requirement to be fulfilled since these sensors in most situations are
battery-powered. This study is mainly focus on resolving an ideal routing technique to
support intra-cluster communications which address energy constraint and load
balancing within a cluster. Hence, a routing technique which is to extend the first
forwarding scheme of existing Intra-Cluster Multi-Hop Routing Algorithm Based on
Forwarding Restriction Angle (IMRA_1) is proposed and developed. Apart from
satisfying IMRA_1’s restriction conditions to limit the scope while forwarding a data
packet to the Cluster Head, the proposed technique will calculate the Multi-hop Over
Direct-hop (MOD) ratio and compare with a predefined Threshold Value (TV) to
consider the most beneficial routing path to be elected. The key idea is to balance
between energy consumption minimization and workload handled by each sensor
nodes. The performance of this new approach is evaluated and compared with
IMRA_1 routing protocol through sets of simulation. All the three research objectives
defined at the beginning of this study have been achieved. |
