Implementation of Energy Balancing in Wireless Sensor Networks

In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), energy is a very precious resource for sensor nodes and communication overhead is to be minimized. So energy is an extremely critical resource for this type of battery-powered based Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), and thus making energy-efficient smart protocol design is a key challenging problem. Some of the few existing energy-efficient routing protocols schemes always forward the packets through the minimum energy based optimal route to the sink to minimize energy consumption. It causes an unbalanced distribution of residual energy between sensor nodes, which leads to network partition. The prime goal of this approach is to forward packets to sink through the energy denser area to protect the nodes with less residual energy, which is maximizing the Sensor Networks Lifetime. The existing technique Energy Balanced Routing Protocol (EBRP) fails to achieve Throughput, End-to-End Delay, in order to improve the Network Performance. So the efficient routing protocol is needed with the capabilities of both the Energy Efficiency and Energy Balancing. To address these issues, we have proposed Delay Aware Energy Balanced Dynamic Routing Protocol (DA-EBDRP). The proposed routing technique achieves in terms of End-to-End Delay, Throughput, Portion of Living Node (PLN) and Network Lifetime. By simulation results the proposed algorithm achieves better performance than the existing methods.
