Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of distributed sensors that are used to sense different parameters in the environment. It is currently used in many military and civilian applications and it becomes an active research area nowadays. These sensors are very limited in resources such as energy, memory and available bandwidth. One of the major challenges in such networks is how to provide connection between sensors and the sink node (base station) and how to exchange the data while maintaining the security requirements and taking into consideration their limited resources. In this paper a secure, power saving routing protocol is proposed to help managing the resources in WSN networks, the proposed protocol is a hybrid of two major categories of protocols in WSNs, namely tree-based and cluster-based protocols. The proposed protocol is combined with a Fuzzy Logic inference system to aid in the selection of the best route based on a combination of two factors: the path length and the available power. Illustrative examples are given about the usage of the new protocol.
