Energy efficient cross layer based adaptive threshold routing protocol for WSN

Abstract Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) perform an important part in modern day communication as it can sense the various physical and environmental parameters by employing low cost sensor devices. The growth of the networks due to scientific advancements have altogether made it possible to create an energy efficient cross layer network that can improve its lifespan. In this paper, a routing protocol is proposed for the networks which are heterogeneous and are based on the adaptive threshold sensitive distributed energy efficient cross layer routing protocol. The concept of weighted probability is used to assign the CH (Cluster Head) of the network cluster. The proposed algorithm is simulated, tested and compared with previously established routing protocols and has shown enhanced results and prolonged network lifespan. In the proposed protocol, a combination of the proactive and reactive network is considered for effective data transmission.
