Development of an improved routing approach in wireless sensor networks. / Development of an improved routing approach in wireless sensor networks

M. Tech. Electrical Engineering. / Discusses the question of how to prolong the life of an entire sensor network by reducing the power consumption is the most important issue in wireless sensor networks. Traditional routing schemes have not fulfilled the expectations of an optimised WSN, and as a result, new algorithms are being designed globally. One of these protocols which serve as a basis for this study is the RCRR. In this project, we present a new approach of the Relative Coordinates Rumor Routing algorithm based on a link quality awareness scheme and a modified version of the protocol with better scaling.The benefits of this study are: Proposal of a tuneable algorithm that will not only consume less power compared to the classic RR but also addresses the scalability problem encountered with the original RCRR. Proposal a better trade-off between throughput and average end-to-end delay with the use of the SMAC (compared with Rumor protocol). Avoidance of long delays in queues and saving power on retransmission of packets. Reduction of the wandering of agents during communication. Prolonging the lifetime of the network and thus offering economic, operational, and environmental benefits. Balancing link quality awareness with a topological localisation scheme to achieve better throughput.
