Multi-Hop Routing Algorithm For Delay Reduction And Lifetime Maximization In Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor network has become a necessity than luxury in common man’s life. A new routing protocol by name Chain Routing for Convergecast Small Scale (CRCSS) wireless sensor networks is proposed in this paper. The set of sensor nodes send the data sensed periodically to the base station located in the area of interest. The nodes that fail to send the data to the sink node in one hop send the data to one of the neighbors so that they can forward the data to the base station. The proposed protocol is energy efficient and faster when applied to small scale sensor networks. The impact of network radius on energy per packet and average number of hops is studied. The effect of various degrees of asymmetry in the network on latency and energy per packet are plotted in comparison with existing algorithms.
