Distributed Energy Balancing Routing Algorithm in Wireless Sensor Networks

In the wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the battery energy of sensor node is very limited. So, how to use energy of sensor node effectively to prolong the lifetime of WSNs is a challenge. Now, we mostly adopt the routing algorithm is based on clustering, the drawback of this algorithm is rate of utilization of cluster-head node energy is very high and the network lifetime rapidly shorter. This paper puts forward a kind of routing algorithm in WSNs, it is Distributed Energy Balancing Routing algorithm (DEBR), this algorithm through energy costs (EC) control the rate of utilization of each sensor node in WSNs, thus dump energy of each sensor node is balance and prolong the lifetime of wireless sensor networks.
