Improved Routing Protocol for Extending Wireless Sensor Networks Lifetime

Abstract

One of the most cutting-edge technological trends to emerge over the past ten years is the availability of ubiquitous networks and the rising demand for them. The objective remains to have access to several services, including voicemail, the web, emails, messages, and other ones, without being restricted by one's geographical location. As a result, there will be an increase in the need for wireless networks for communication. The wireless network industry has had remarkable growth over the last several decades, and they make new advancements in this field. An ad hoc network is a non-stationary infrastructure that allows for the establishment of a sort of wireless network in which one node may share information with several other nodes through multi-hop links and interconnections. This type of network is also known as a mesh network. An ad hoc system is one that does not have a centralized control unit and instead relies on a collection of wireless mobile nodes to construct a functional wireless network. Newline Instead of using stationary network communication, this kind of network uses a multi-hop point-to-point routing technique to create a network connection. Because mobile nodes have a limited range, a problem may occur when one node has to connect with another node that is located outside of its range but is still inside its coverage area. In such cases, a connection between the origin and the destination should be made by linking several nodes. The criteria used to determine which nodes should participate in the routing process depend on a variety of different factors. In spite of this, the primary objective is to construct a route from one end to the other in order to provide the nodes with a transmission medium so that they may connect with one another. The process of routing data in ad hoc networks has become very difficult ever since the debut of wireless networks. The inherent characteristics of an ad hoc network, in which the topologies of the network are always subject to change, are the primary cause of this kind of challenge. Because ad hoc networks are inherently dynamic, there will be various performance concerns with the routing and transmission of data. The proposed work provides to become aware of the various performance issues that may arise from the use of routing protocols in mobile ad hoc networks. To evaluate the routing protocols in terms of their effectiveness in the context of wireless mobile networks and wireless static networks. For the purpose of assessing the performance of this network scenario, both mobile and static nodes are utilized.
