Abstract

Scientists have listed down ten emerging technologies that will change the world's future and Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is one of them. A lot of work is in progress to make this technology more effective by having research in this field. This network is composed of sensing nodes which are energy limited so energy efficiency is one of the most critical design issues. To have energy efficient network, efficient routing plays very important role. In this paper, Adaptive Intra Cluster routing (AICR) is proposed which is the best solution to the problem offered by traditional routing algorithms. Comparative study of AICR is done with MultiHop Router [1] by simulating. Simulation results have revealed that AICR is 17% more energy efficient and has increased network lifetime up to 12%.
