In this paper, we proposed EEAR(Efficient Energy Alternative Routing). This is a method of selecting a backup node for path routing management. When some node disconnection on the path routing, using pre-selected backup node provides immediately recover the path recovery. When selecting a Step-Parents node on the path management, the node' s energy level and distance information are cared in context-awareness. This not only increased the system' s capacity cost effectively, but also reduce transmission power entire nodes consume energy. As a result, each node could efficiently management and improves the life time for mobile host and extends system coverage.

In the paper, we propose an energy efficient sensor network management scheme. In the proposed scheme, the modified game theory and ${\varepsilon}$-constraint techniques are sophisticatedly combined to establish energy efficient routing paths. Simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme can strike an appropriate performance balance between conflicting requirements while other existing schemes cannot offer such an attractive performance.

In recent years, wireless sensor networks have become an important part of data communications. Sensors provide information about the required measurements or control states over wireless networks. The energy efficient routing protocol of wireless sensor networks is the key issue for network lifetimes. The routing protocol must ensure that connectivity in a network is remained for a long period of time and the energy status of the sensor in the entire network must be in the same level in order not to leave the network with a wide difference in the energy consumptions of the sensors. In this paper we propose a new routing protocol based on AODV protocol that considers the energy efficiency when the protocol determines the routing paths, which is called AODV-EE. The proposed method prevents an imbalance of power consumption in sensors of wireless networks. From the simulation results it is shown that the proposed algorithm can be effectively used in collecting and monitoring data without concerning about the disconnection of the networks.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) require an enormous number of sensor nodes (SNs) to maintain processing, sensing, and communication capabilities for monitoring targeted sensing regions. SNs are generally operated by batteries and have a significantly restricted energy consumption; therefore, it is necessary to discover optimization techniques to enhance network lifetime by saving energy. The principal focus is on reducing the energy consumption of packet sharing (transmission and receiving) and improving the network lifespan. To achieve this objective, this paper presents a novel improved energy-efficient cluster-based routing protocol (IECRP) that aims to accomplish this by decreasing the energy consumption in data forwarding and receiving using a clustering technique. Doing so, we successfully increase node energy and network lifetime. In order to confirm the improvement of our algorithm, a simulation is done using matlab, in which analysis and simulation results show that the performance of the proposed algorithm is better than that of two well-known recent benchmarks.

Efficient energy consumption is a one of the key issues in wireless sensor networks. Clustering-based routing algorithms have been popular solutions for such an issue. Re-clustering is necessary for avoiding early energy drain of cluster head nodes in such routing strategies. The re-clustering process itself, however, is another source of energy consumption. It is suggested in this work to adaptively set the frequency of re-clustering by comparing the energy levels of cluster heads and a threshold value. The algorithm keeps the clusters if all the cluster heads' energy levels are greater than the threshold value. We confirm through simulations that the suggested algorithm shows better energy efficiency than the existing solutions.

Interference-aware routing protocol design for underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) is one of the key strategies in reducing packet loss in the highly hostile underwater environment. The reduced interference causes efficient utilization of the limited battery power of the sensor nodes that, in consequence, prolongs the entire network lifetime. In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient interference-aware routing (EEIAR) protocol for UWSNs. A sender node selects the best relay node in its neighborhood with the lowest depth and the least number of neighbors. Combination of the two routing metrics ensures that data packets are forwarded along the least interference paths to reach the final destination. The proposed work is unique in that it does not require the full dimensional localization information of sensor nodes and the network total depth is segmented to identify source, relay and neighbor nodes. Simulation results reveal better performance of the scheme than the counterparts DBR and EEDBR techniques in terms of energy efficiency, packet delivery ratio and end-to-end delay.

In multi-hop wireless networks like Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), nodes often rely on batteries as their power source. In such cases, energy efficient routing is critical. Many schemes have been proposed to find the most energy efficient path, but most of them do not achieve optimality on network lifetime. Once found, the energy efficient path is constantly used such that the energy of the nodes on the path is depleted quickly. As an alternative, the approaches that dynamically change the path at run time have also been proposed. These approaches, however, involve high overhead of establishing multiple paths. In this paper, we first find an optimal multi-path routing using LP. Then we apply an approximation algorithm to derive a near-optimal solution for single-path routing. We compare the performance of the proposed scheme with several other existing algorithms through simulation.

This paper proposes a improved bitmap routing protocol, which finds the best energy efficient routing path by minimizing the network overheads and prolongs the overall network lifetime. Jung proposed a bitmap scheme for sensor networks. His scheme uses a bitmap table to represent the connection information between nodes. However, it has a problem that the table size is depends on the number of nodes in the sensor networks. The problem is very serious in the sensor node with a limited memory. Thereby, this paper proposes a improved bitmap routing protocol to solve the problem in Jung's scheme. Proposed protocol over the memory restricted sensor network could optimize the size of bitmap table by applying the deployed network property. Proposed protocol could be used in the diversity of sensor networks due to it has minimum memory overheads.

Recently wireless sensor networks as a field of ubiquitous computing technology was in the limelight. To use and collect the necessary information, Sink node mobility is essential. TTDD(Two-Tier Data Dissemination) proposed most common technique associated with Mobile sink node in wireless sensor networks, but issues exist that the use of many control packet falls into the energy efficiency. The technique for solving problems is Cluster-Based Energy-efficient Routing protocol (CBPER). But CBPER does not transmit the data correctly to sink node or source node. In this paper, we propose An Energy-Efficient Routing Protocol based on Static Grid using mobile sink nodes in order to solve the data transmission failure and reduce the energy consumption in Wireless Sensor Networks. We have evaluated it with the NS-2 simulator. Our results show that the proposed protocol saves the energy consumption up to 34% in comparison with CBPER. We also prove that the proposed protocol can transmit more accurate data to the sink de than CBPER.

Since all sensor nodes in wireless sensor networks work by their own embedded batteries, if a node runs out of its battery, the sensor network can not operate normally. In this situation we should employ the routing protocols which can consume the energy of nodes efficiently. Many protocols for energy efficient routing in sensor networks have been suggested but LEACH and PEGASIS are most well known protocols. However LEACH consumes energy heavily in the head nodes and the head nodes tend to die early and PEGASIS - which is known as a better energy efficient protocol - has a long transfer time from a source node to sink node and the nodes close to the sink node expend energy sharply since it makes a long hop of data forwarding. We proposed a new hybrid protocol of LEACH and PEGASIS, which uses the clustering mechanism of LEACH and the chaining mechanism of PEGASIS and it makes the life time of sensor networks longer than other protocols and we improved the performance 33% and 18% higher than LEACH-C and PEGASIS respectively.
