Abstract

This work proposes an approach for improving energy-efficiency and thus increasing network lifetime in wireless sensor network (WSN) using a logical energy tree (LET). In our scheme, LET is constructed using the remaining available energy in each node. Two routing algorithms are framed based on LET: one with centralized sink node called LETCSN and the other with centralized sink node and secondary sink nodes called LETSSN. sensor nodes are deployed in some fixed patterns. A mathematical model is devised to understand the effect of node deployment pattern on improving network lifetime. Both proposed routing algorithms are evaluated with seven different deployment patterns, simulated in ns-2 and are compared with the existing classic algorithms based on the number of data packets, throughput, network lifetime, and data packet’s average network lifetime product. Our evaluation and simulation results show that LETSSN maximizes the network lifetime for all node-deployment patterns taken into consideration.
