Routing Algorithm Based on Area Division Management of Node in Wireless Sensor Networks
Abstract: In order to reduce
the communication overhead among sensor nodes, a routing algorithm is proposed
based on zoning management nodes. The algorithm defines the calculation method
of the network partition radius after nodes deployment, and divides monitored
area according to the radius meanwhile layouts one management node in each
partition. Then nodes’ communication cost is calculated based on the distance
among nodes as well as nodes’ energy, and finishes the selection of routing
nodes based on the cost. Finally, using the Matlab simulation environment, the
parameters impacting the optimal partition radius are discussed, and the
proposed routing algorithm is compared with existing algorithms. Theoretical
analysis and experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is more
balanced on nodes energy consumption. The algorithm reduces network traffic
overhead while extends the lifetime of the network.
