Abstract
Lifetime enhancement has been a hot issue in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). To prolong the network lifetime of WSNs, this paper proposes an intelligent routing algorithm named RLLO. RLLO makes uses of the superiority of reinforcement learning (RL) and considers residual energy and hop count to define the reward function. It is to uniformly distribute the energy consumption and improve the packet delivery without additional cost. This proposed algorithm has been compared with Energy Aware Routing (EAR) and improved EAR (I-EAR). Simulation results show that RLLO gains a significant improvement in terms of network lifetime and packet delivery over these two algorithms.
