Performance analysis of Energy Efficient Routing protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks
B.Vani, Dr.ShriShail Math
Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks comprises of spatially distributed autonomous sensors has been
employed in large extent as monitoring applications in remote environments. In order to provide
quality of service, energy efficient routing protocol has to be designed to support mobility of node
towards data collection as sensor nodes are energy constraint devices. In this paper, a performance
analysis of energy efficient routing protocols to wireless sensor network on various aspects has been
carried out. Energy efficiency is one of the important factors of the wireless sensor network as it
operates with low power and small size multifunctional sensor nodes. Further energy efficient
routing protocols has categorized on basis of routing structure which is termed as hierarchical based
routing, flat based routing and location based routing. Additionally awareness of link weight and
energy density of the node and mobile sink seems to be important aspect. The analysis of the
protocols has been carried out on basis of design, implementation and performance. Moreover
selection criteria for protocol analysis are to ensure relevancy of the quality validation. To be more
specific, protocol such as LEACH based on Forward Aware Factor, Ring Routing and Source Traffic
Defined Multiple Mobile Sink Routing Protocol has been analysed in depth as it belongs to
hierarchical structure and it outperforms the routing structures in energy utilization and extending
the lifetime. The performance is measured with respect to topology, clustering procedure, Mobile
sink trajectory, data aggregation, location awareness, Scalability and network lifetime. Result of the
analysis reveals the solutions for improvement of the protocol on optimizing the energy efficiency.
Finally we conclude that protocol named as Source Traffic Defined Multiple Mobile Sink Routing
Protocol extends the network lifetime without degrading the other critical factors through
elaborating the weakness of the existing approaches on achieving the energy efficiency.
