Abstract

In this paper, we study an energy balanced routing protocol based on dynamic power scaling techniques for wireless sensor networks. In the proposed protocol, each node maintains a list of neighboring nodes and their corresponding statistical residual energy information. The energy balanced routing distributes the levels of residue energy evenly throughout the network, while the dynamic power scaling scheme achieves further energy savings by adjusting transmission power to meet signal strength requirement at the receiver. In order to demonstrate the increased energy efficiency of the proposed protocol, we have conducted an experimental study. The results of our experimental study clearly show that the proposed energy balanced routing scheme with dynamic power improves energy efficiency while achieving energy balance as well.
