In this paper, we present the simulation results of the comparative investigation of the performance of the wireless sensor network routing protocols based on different routing objective: energy-aware routing using PROWLER and RMASE. Our simulation results indicate that the energy-aware routing objective increases the network lifetime for the Adaptive Tree, Constrained Flooding and Real-Time ro...

In wireless ad hoc networks, designing an energy-efficient routing protocol is a major issue since nodes are energy limited. To address energy issue, we proposed a triangular energy-saving cached-based routing protocol by energy sieving (TESCES). TESCES offered a grid leader election by energy sieving (GLEES), a cache-based grid leader maintenance (CGLM), and a triangular energysaving routing d...

-------------------------------------------------------------Abstract----------------------------------------------------------------Most ad hoc mobile devices today operate on batteries. Hence, power consumption becomes an important issue. To maximize the lifetime of mobile ad hoc networks, the power consumption rate of each node must be evenly distributed, and the overall transmission power f...

Energy is a critical resource parameter in Wireless Sensor Networks. Utilizing energy in an efficient manner is a challenging task in Wireless Sensor Networks.

Various energy efficient and QoS based routing protocols have been compared. To improve the QoS in a network, d...

In wireless ad hoc networks, designing energy-efficient routing protocols is a major issue since mobile hosts are energy-limited. In this paper, we propose an energy saving cache-based routing protocol (ESCR) to address this issue. In the proposed routing protocol, when the energy of the grid header is not sufficient for data transmission, new grid header is elected directly by ESCR without the...

Location based routing protocols are the kinds of routing protocols, which use of nodes’ location information, instead of links’ information for routing. They are also known as position based routing. In position based routing protocols, it is supposed that the packet source node has position information of itself and its neighbors and packet destination node. In recent years, many location bas...

A mobile ad hoc network is characterized by constraints such as limited bandwidth, energy constraints, less memory and processing capabilities. Also MANET’s are required to be deployed under scalable conditions for some applications. A routing protocol is a central to the design of such networks. In this paper we compare the energy conservation of proactive routing protocols like DSR and AODV. ...

Study on energy-efficient routing algorithms is one of the critical problems of wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we propose a Density-based Energy-efficient Game-theoretic Routing Algorithm (DEGRA). As a clustering algorithm, DEGRA adopts game theory and make cluster head determination based on nodes’ density, residual energy and average energy consumption of its neighboring nodes. We a...

High efficient routing is an important issue in the design of limited energy resource Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Due to the characteristic of the environment at which the sensor node is to operate, coupled with severe resources; on-board energy, transmission power, processing capability, and storage limitations, prompt for careful resource management and new routing protocol so as to coun...

Today, information networks play an important role in supply chain management. Therefore, in this article, clustering-based routing protocols, which are one of the most important ways to reduce energy consumption in wireless sensor networks, are used to optimize the supply chain informational cloud network.
