Improving WSN Lifetime Using Q-Routing Technique

Wireless Sensor Networks having many number of small sensor nodes, having limited energy, memory and computing power. Among these limitations, energy consumption is the most important criteria of Wireless Sensor Networks. Routing in wireless sensor networks is a challenging issue because the system lifetime should be increased through efficient energy aware routing schemes. Recently, many routing schemes are taking this energy consumption as the main design factor. This paper shows the use of Q-Routing technique for reducing the energy consumption and to improve the Wireless Sensor Network Lifetime.
