Abstract

Minimizing Energy consumption is considered as one of the most important principles in the development of routing protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). In this study, we propose a Location based Energy-Aware Reliable routing protocol (LEAR) for WSN based on sensor position and clustering. Geographical routing protocols are efficient and convenient for optimum energy consumption and bandwidth utilization. Most of the existing geographic routing protocols make use of greedy routing to forward packets from source to destination. Enhance Greedy Forwarding is proposed to perform a geographic, efficient and reliable routing for WSN. A comprehensive simulation study illustrates that the lifetime of WSN can be consequentially extended with LEAR. Finally, LEAR algorithm has been developed, tested and validated through a set of experiments to illustrate the relative advantages and capabilities of a proposed algorithm.
