ENHANCING ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS THROUGH DESIGNING ENERGY EFFICIENT ROUTING PROTOCOL

It has been proven from the latest advances that sensory data represents smart
environment applications. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), staging the
future of the wireless sensory data, are expected to optimize control,
management and flexibility of future wireless network. The recent
development of small wireless sensing devices has opened the doors for
several new applications. These applications, in tum, have the potential in
changing the way we perceive, monitor, and interact with the physical world.
Involved in many application domains, WSN is a high resource constraint
network in which energy comes to be its prime concern since a sensor node
contains an unchangeable and not chargeable tiny battery, which is responsible
for all sensing and computing operations. On the other hand, routing is a more
energy-consuming key operation. Thus, the challenges are about that all
operations could be accurately done with maximum efficiency and accuracy
within its limited resources.
