RETRACTED ARTICLE: Energy aware reliable route selection scheme with clustered RP model for wireless sensor networks to promote interaction between human and sensors

Abstract

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is one of the significant flourishing areas of research, due to its controllability, accessibility and adaptability. WSN is deployed for better control and track of the industrial equipments, which paves way for the proposals of numerous real-time applications out of it. The primary goal of a WSN is to promote communication between the industrial sensor nodes, such that the information is shared and decisions can be made. However, communication works out at the cost of energy, which is considerably scarce in WSN. Thus, energy efficient routing is necessary for a network to work for a reasonable time. This work presents an energy efficient route selection scheme, which selects the reliable route out of all possible routes. The reliable route is selected by considering the trust level of the sensor nodes, which results in faster and reliable data transmission. The performance of the proposed work is tested and compared with the existing approaches in terms of packet delivery rate, latency, energy efficiency and network lifetime.
