SIG: A Gossip Based Energy Efficient Routing Protocol For WSN

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)has a lot of applicability in today's world, whether it is an informative field or other things. To achieve efficient data transmission, many routing protocols have been proposed where energy is always an important issue. This research aims to overcome the drawbacks of a flooding-based routing protocol by proposing a gossiping-based routing algorithm called SIG: Source Initiative Gossiping. We applied this protocol into a network and achieved that SIG is more energy-efficient than Flooding and Gossiping. It consumes about 50% less energy than flooding and 35% less energy than Gossiping. Our results indicate that SIG successfully achieves application reliability requirements in many topologies. We simulated it in MATLAB to achieve a comparing result among Flooding, Gossiping, and SIG
