Abstract

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the multi-hop routing protocols can perform energy efficiency. However, the network lifetime still suffers degradations due to the unbalanced energy consumption for all nodes. Therefore, in this paper, with energy saving scheme we propose an improved cross layer algorithm to combining MAC and routing protocols. An analysis is developed to show the energy efficiency of proposed cross layer algorithm. Moreover, simulation results show that the proposed weighted routing algorithm can further prolong network lifetime for WSNs.
