Extend Wireless Network's Lifetime Based on Developing Gossiping Routing Algorithm

Abstract

Prolong node's lifetime that is limited by its battery, as long as possible is an important factor during wireless sensor network designing. Several routing algorithm have been adopted to manage the energy strategy of WSNs. Multi-hoping is considered to be data transmission technique in WSNs, and Gossiping is one of well-defined multi-hopping as an epidemic routing algorithm. Gossip algorithm constructs its routing based on random selection of intermediate nodes, thus leads to its inefficiency. In this paper, three algorithms proposed for developing Gossip algorithm, DGossip, EN_Gossip and ENL_Gossip. Network lifetime improved by considering the information of nodes location, energy and their distance to the base station. The simulation executed in MATLAB, and the results of the proposed algorithms show that they are more efficient than LGossip and ELGossip and prolong the overall network lifetime.
