An Energy Efficient Approach to Extend Network Life Time of Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract The energy consumption in wireless sensor networks is a significant matter and there are many ways to conserve energy. The use of mobile sensors is of great relevance to minimize the total energy dissipation in communication and overhead control packets. In a WSN, sensor nodes deliver sensed data back to the sink via multi hopping. The sensor nodes near the sink will usually consume more battery power than others; consequently, these nodes will quickly drain out their battery energy and decrease in the network lifetime of the WSN. The presence of mobile sinks causes increased energy reduction in their proximity, due to more relay load under multi hop communication. Moreover, node deployment technique can also be used to improve the life time of the network. Performance comparisons have been done by simulations between different routing protocols and our approach show efficient results.
