A plethora of applications in our daily life uses the assistance of wireless sensor networks. The main drawback of the sensors is the resource constrained nature especially with regard to energy storage. The minute structure is an attractive feature of these sensors as they can be easily be deployed or accommodated in sensing or monitoring devices. But because of the miniature size, the energy storage, processing and memory capabilities have to be drastically reduced. The applications which uses the wireless sensor networks will have to have a continuous connectivity with the area where they are deployed without any breakage otherwise the intension of the sensor deployment will be ineffectual. In order to maintain the longevity of the network the only option is to efficiently use the available energy to the maximum extent. Each layer of the protocol stack has its own strategies in order to reduce the energy consumption. We are focusing on the network layer in which routing place an important role. As compared to the sensing and processing functions the process of communication consumes more energy and hence the importance of an energy efficient routing protocol to enhance the life time of the wireless sensor networks. A novel approach where in mobile sinks are involved is proposed with extensive simulations which showcase the efficacy of the proposed Mobile Sink Assisted (MSA) algorithm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
