Design of Energy Efficient Multi-Sink and Mobile-Sink Routing Algorithms for Enhancing Network Lifetime for Consumer Home Networks

"In this emerging technology era, communication plays vital role in consumer home products, preferable communication in consumer home products is wireless one because of its speed, reliability compared to wired communication. Consumer products act as transceivers in the home environment. So the sensors which are to be used in consumer home network should be energy efficient one because of its critical issues like irreplaceable battery and Network lifetime. So routing algorithms should be energy efficient one. Not only routing algorithms, sink node is also one more issue so deploying multiple sink nodes in order to overcome hotspot problems and mobility given to sink node to achieve improved end to end delay. Two algorithms (CAMu-S and CAMo-S) which facilitate above these issues. Results validate the performance of both algorithms is good compared to traditional LEACH algorithm that leads to use of those routing algorithms in consumer home networks. Clustering Algorithm for Static and Multi-mobile-sink (CASM) algorithm is proposed. "
