Region Chain Based Routing Protocols for WSNs

  Nivedita Kashyap

Wireless sensors nodes are made up of tiny electronic devices which are able of sensing, computing and transmitting data from harsh physical environments like a surveillance field. These sensor nodes depend on batteries for energy, which get depleted at a faster rate because of the computation and communication operations they have to perform. It is randomly deployed in harsh environment, disaster areas, where replacement of battery or recharge is difficult. For this reason, network lifetime is crucial for WSN. Therefore, to maximize the network lifetime, efficient utilization of energy is considered. Energy efficient protocols are designed to make efficient utilization of energy resources. In order to extend the lifetime of sensor nodes, it is preferable to distribute the energy dissipated throughout the wireless sensor network .Routing protocols are mainly designed to use energy of the sensor nodes efficiently. In this paper, we have proposed Region Chain based Routing Protocol which ensures maximum utilization of energy. Later, a comparison of Region Chain Based Routing protocol with Chain Routing with Even Energy Consumption CREEC [2] has been done and found out that energy consumption can be decreased up to 15-20% and reliability of a network can be considerably enhanced using this method.

Keywords- Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), Routing protocol, chain routing .Chain Leader on the basis of maximum energy.
