Energy Aware Intra Cluster Routing for Wireless Sensor Networks
INTRODUCTION
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is an emerging technology that is predicted to change the human life in future. This technology is composed of tiny sensing objects called sensors that are wirelessly scattered in the environment. Due to wireless nature and having limited lifetime (battery operated) there are many challenges for researchers to make this technology more useful. In this research work an energy efficient routing technique Energy Aware Intra Cluster Routing (EAICR) is presented that has increased energy efficiency up to 17% and increased the network lifetime up to 12% when compared with a well known routing algorithm
Advantages:
• This technique for intra cluster routing which is more energy efficient than a well known routing protocol Multihop Router that performs multihop routing.
Disadvantages:
• Performance is not evaluated for large network size.
