DESIGN AND VALIDATION OF EEDR ROUTING PROTOCOL PERFORMANCE IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS

In this paper, the design and validation of new routing approach called Energy Efficient Distributed Receiver (EEDR) is proposed. The receiver-based routing protocol relies on the receiver node to discover paths between the sender node and the receiver node. It reduces the transmission of control packets and hence reduces the energy consumption in the network. Since the exchange of control packets are reduced, the time consumption in data transfer is also reduced and this makes the improvement in the network life time and overall network reliability. The main performance criteria in this proposed work is reduction in the energy consumption and reducing the routing overhead. The routes are discovered on the basis of channel quality and the impact of transmitted power, noise, path loss and signal bandwidth for the establishment of the route is taken into consideration.
