Abstract

Dijkstra’s routing algorithm is augmented with a novel link cost function designed to increase network lifetime by balancing energy consumption of nodes in the network. Performance is evaluated using a hardware experimental setup comprising 8 nodes and an access point placed on the body. The setup is used for real-time experiments implementing the routing algorithm in a residential environment. Results demonstrate efficient balancing of energy consumption across all nodes in the network and an increase of 40% in network lifetime.

Keywords: wban routing network lifetime
