Energy efficient clustered chain based power aware routing protocol for wireless sensor networks

Abstract

WSNs has emerged as am important computing platform in the recent few years. Wireless Sensor Networks consists of a large number of sensor nodes, which are operated by a small battery. Sensor nodes can be deployed in the harsh environment. Once they are deployed, it becomes impossible to replace or recharge its battery. So the battery power of sensor node should be used efficiently. Many routing protocols has been proposed so far but they has not taken consideration of critical data. So we propose EECCPAR protocol which considers time critical data by using MAX threshold concept. Our protocol is better than PEGASIS protocol, this has been shown by simulation results.
