In practice, it is well known that geographical and/or location based routing is highly effective for wireless sensor network. Here, electing some landmarks on the network and forwarding data based on the landmark is one of the good approaches for a vast sensing field with holes. In the most previous works, landmarks are elected without considering the residual energy on each sensor. In this paper, we propose an Energy aware Landmark Election and Routing (ELER) protocol to establish a stable routing paths and reduce the total power consumption. The proposed protocol makes use of each sensor's energy level on electing the landmarks, which would be utilized to route a packet towards the target region using greedy forwarding method. Our simulation results illustrate that the proposed scheme can significantly reduce the power dissipation and effectively lengthen the lifetime of the network.

Since sensor node has a limited energy supply in a wireless sensor network, it is very important to maximize the network lifetime through energy-efficient routing. Thus, many routing protocols have been developed for wireless sensor networks and can be classified into flat and hierarchical routing protocols. Recent researches focus on hierarchical routing scheme and LEACH is a representative hierarchical routing protocol. In this paper, we investigated the problems of the LEACH and proposed a novel energy efficient routing scheme, called ENTER(ENergy efficient Two-tiEr Routing protocol), to resolve the problem. ENTER reduces an energy consumption and increases a network lifetime by organizing clusters by the same distributed algerian as in the LEACH and establishing paths among cluster-heads to transmit the aggregated data to the sink node. We compared the performance of the ENTER with the LEACH through simulation and showed that the ENTER could enhance the network lifetime by utilizing the resources more efficiently.

Recently, many researchers have studied to solve the energy consumption of network equipments since the interest of Green IT has been increased. In this paper, we apply Low Power Idle (LPI) to OBS network to reduce energy consumption of network devices. Many previous researches have focused on maximizing the sleep time of network equipments to increase the energy saving efficiency of LPI. But transition overhead caused by LPI might not only depreciate the performance of energy saving but also increase packet delay. In this paper, Transition Decision (TD) algorithm is proposed to improve energy saving efficiency by reducing the number of unnecessary transition and guarantee the required QoS such as packet delay. To evaluate the performance of proposed algorithm, we model OBS edge router with LPI by OPNET and analyze the performance of the proposed algorithm in views of energy saving, transition count and average packet delay.

An ad hoc network consists of nodes with limited energy. Therefore, the data transmission can fail abruptly due to lack of energy of transmitting node. A previous work PAMP proposed to build multiple low-energy paths to support stable packet delivery exploiting the nodes with low energy. It has energy-reservation scheme and multi-path selection scheme for stationary wireless ad hoc networks. In this paper, we propose an extended version of PAMP by incorporating network coding opportunity in path selection process. The simulation results show that our proposed scheme shows better packet delivery ratio and lower energy consumption compared with PAMP and a legacy energy-aware multipath routing protocol REAR.

Conventional energy efficient routing protocols apply high weight to energy among routing metrics, causing nodes to concentrate on energy efficient paths and quickly exhaust energy on those paths. The unbalanced energy consumption of these wireless sensor networks causes network division and malfunction, and reduces network lifetime. Therefore, in this paper, it proposes a link cost based routing protocol to solve the unbalanced energy consumption of wireless sensor networks. The proposed routing protocol calculates the link cost by applying the weight of the routing metric differently according to the network problem situation and selects the path with the lowest value. As a result of the performance analysis, it confirmed that the proposed routing protocol has 22% longer network life, 2% energy consumption standard deviation and 2% higher data reception rate than the existing AODV protocol.

Awireless sensor network utilizes small sensors with a low cost and low power being deployed over a wide area. They monitor the surrounding environment and gather the associated information to transmit it to a base station via multi-hop transmission. Most of the research has mainly focused on static sensors that are located in a fixed position. Unlike a wireless sensor network based on static sensors, we can exploit drone-based technologies for more efficient wireless networks in terms of coverage and energy. In this paper, we introduce a transmission power model and a video encoding power model to design the network environment. We also explain a priority mapping scheme, and deploy drones oriented for network coverage and energy consumption. Through our simulations, this research shows coverage and energy improvements in adrone-based wireless sensor network with fewer sensors, compared to astatic sensor-based wireless sensor network. Concretely, coverage increases by 30% for thedrone-based wireless sensor network with the same number of sensors. Moreover, we save an average of 25% with respect to the total energy consumption of the network while maintaining the coverage required.

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.
