EEHRP: Energy Efficient Hybrid Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

Due to wide variety of real time applications Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is the hottest research field in the world of computer network. Wireless Sensor Network consists of tiny, autonomous sensor nodes deployed in a remote area to detect, collect and process data and transmit it to the user. In such network nodes are able to move and synchronize with the neighbors. Due to mobility of nodes, network changes dynamically and nodes get added and removed. In this paper, we are going to survey different hybrid routing protocols in WSN. Different hybrid routing protocols perform well in different scenario and their performance is compared based on different metrics. Also, we have proposed Energy Efficient Hybrid Routing Protocol (EEHRP) in WSN. Keywords—WSN, MANET, Routing Algorithms, Cluster formation, Energy-Aware Routing.
