Energy balanced AODV to improve network lifetime and energy efficiency in wireless sensor network

  B.Venkateswara reddy,  M.Pushpalatha

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs) one of the most important issue is collecting and processing data from the environment and sending that data from source to sink node. Sensor nodes in WSNs are connected through wireless links. The main use of these nodes are sensing the data when placed in the environment field and sending those sensed data to the base station. In this paper mainly we focus on the problem of maximizing the lifetime of a network and reduce the energy consumption. The proposed system implements the AODV protocol with the help of node level residual energy and hop count along the path towards the destination. In this implementation of AODV protocol along with RREQ message we have to add minimum residual energy (Min-RE) field. The default value of Min-RE field is set as -1.To find a route to destination node first source node broadcast the RREQ packet to the neighbors once the neighbors receives the RREQ packet updates the Min-RE value and rebroadcast the packet to the next nodes until the packet arrives at a destination node, hence the proposed protocol find a route to destination that have minimum number of hops and sufficient energy in intermediate nodes.

Keywords- wireless sensor network, energy consumption, network lifetime, residual energy.
