ADAPTIVE ENERGY-EFFICIENT PROTOCOL (AEFP)

Abstract

This report is concerned with designing and implementation of energy efficient sensor network as generally, Sensor Network is deployed to continuously perform in low energy environment. Routing Protocol is the key for efficiency of a sensor Network. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of irreplaceable nodes which are equipped with limited energy resources. Necessity of power consumption becomes a prior importance for various pervasive and ubiquitous applications. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of several nodes in count of hundred or thousand operating in remote location and harsh environment. Recent advancements in the field of digital signal processors, short-range radio electronics, and micro electromechanical systems (MEMS) based sensor technology and low power RF designs have enabled the development of inexpensive low power sensors with significant computational capability. A cluster of wirelessly communicating cells, to cope with scalability problems, if combined with in-network data aggregation with help of an energy efficient routing algorithm i.e. Hierarchical routing in which sensors organize themselves into clusters and each cluster has a cluster head where the low energy nodes are used to perform the sensing in the proximity of the phenomenon, can be deployed as an energy efficient sensor Network.
