Abstract

The main goal of research concerning energy aware routing algorithm for wireless sensor network is to increase the lifetime and long-term connectivity of the wireless sensor networks. However, most of energy aware routing algorithms do not take into account the clustering mechanism efficiently. In this paper, we present an efficient energy aware routing algorithm for the wireless sensor networks. In our algorithm, the data aggregation technique and adaptive clustering mechanism are considered for reducing and compacting the cumulative size of packets on the wireless sensor networks. Simulation results show that the energy usage of EAR-ACM is significantly reduced compared with the previous clustering based routing algorithm for the sensor networks.
