Abstract
One of the most significant challenges for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is long-lived sensor nodes and minimization in overall power consumption, As the nodes spend substantial energy in sending and receiving data, a robust and power-aware routing protocol can maximize the network lifetime. In this paper, a cluster based dynamic and energy efficient routing scheme with optimal transmission range (DEOR) for wireless sensor networks is proposed in order to maximize the network lifetime. In this protocol, nodes are classified in different ranks depending on the nature of their power consumption in terms of both direct communication to the Base Station and optimal transmission range. Each node maintains a routing table to choose the next hop node to relay the data and after successful transmission it updates that routing table. Computer simulation of this dynamic routing protocol has been done and a better outcome has been observed compared to one of the multihop routing strategies.
