Increasing the Life of Wireless Sensors Networks: Proposing a Novel Routing Method

چکیده مقاله

Considering extensive applications of wireless sensors networks, many research studies have examined them in recent years and nearly all aspects in this regard have been investigated by the researchers. Since wireless sensors` nodes use their batteries to live, one important aspect in this regard is examining a method by which the energy consumption reduces so that network could live longer. Many different methods have been proposed, but the present study enjoys new routing method applying genetics algorithm and Steiner Tree to overcome previous routing shortcomings in nodes’ energy as an important factor for data transformation. The simulation results revealed that the proposed method could increase the life of network to some acceptable degree.
