Abstract

Generally, in computer network traffic routing, the cost of routing is one of the primary concerns and most routing algorithms focus on cost minimization. But in case of Wireless Network, the lifetime of participating nodes affects the stability of the network. Almost every node of a network has to perform the function of a router. Due to the limited battery power of mobile devices, recent research in wireless routing is motivated towards selection of a path that maximizes the network lifetime. Although, these algorithms help to maintain the stability of the network, they are not as much cost effective as traditional existing routing algorithms owing to the greediness of lifetime. In this paper we consider both the routing cost and network lifetime issue in route selection so that the network remains stable and data are routed through cost-effective path. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm finds a cost-effective path from source to destination, which helps to maintain the stability of the network.
