An Energy Efficient Fault Tolerant Multipath (EEFTM) Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Currently, there is very little research that aims at Taking all this into consideration, existing infrastructure handling QoS requirements using multipath routing in a very should be monitored for both energy and communication. energy constrained environment like sensor networks. In this paper, Energy efficient fault-tolerant multipath routing Communication between nodes is a major consumer of technique which utilizes multiple paths between source and the energy in sensor networks, which makes distributed sink. has been proposed. This protocol is intended to provide a processing capability to be an important constraint for sensor reliable transmission environment with low energy consumption, network. A centralized system leads to more energy depletion, by efficiently utilizing the energy availability and the available as some of the sensors needs to communicate over long bandwidth of the nodes to identify multiple routes to the distances and it also include more number of bits to be destination. To achieve reliability and fault tolerance, this transmitted. Processing as much information as achievable in protocol selects reliable paths based on the average reliability the neighborhood would be an excellent thought as this rank (ARR) of the paths. Average reliability rank of a path is reduces the total quantity of bits broadcasted. based on each node's reliability rank (RR), which represents the probability that a node correctly delivers data to the destination.Sensor networks are employed by various applications, forIn case the existing route encounters some unexpected link or instance: Environmental monitoring is an application, in route failure, the algorithm selects the path with the next highest which monitoring of air, soil and water, condition based ARR, from the list of selected paths. Simulation results show that maintenance is dealt with. Habitat monitoring is another the proposed protocol minimizes the energy and latency and application, in which the plant and animal species population maximizes the delivery ratio. and behavior are determined. It is worthy to mention seismic detection, military surveillance, inventory tracking, smart

Dynamic Curative Mechanism for Geographic Routing in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks

“…In [8], to achieve reliability and fault tolerance, proposed protocol continuously updates routes status, while transmitting data along paths simultaneously, it uses a subsequent reliable path, if some unpredicted fault happens in the path. Its drawback is the flooding of network by updating requests and control messages, additionally, the overload of nodes involved in the transmission, which consequently deplets their residual energy.…”

ResilientWireless Sensor Networks Using Topology Control: A Review

“…However, surveying routing protocols in WSNs is out of the scope of this paper; the reader is referred to [ 111 ] for more details. Multi-path routing and energy-aware protocols, such as [ 112 ], Robust and Energy Efficient multipath Routing (REER) [ 113 ], Energy Efficient Multipath Routing protocol for WSNs (referred as RELAX) [ 114 ], Low-Interference Energy-efficient Multipath ROuting (LIEMRO) [ 115 ], Energy Efficient Fault Tolerant Multipath (EEFTM) [ 116 ] and Probing Environment and Adaptive Sleeping (PEAS) [ 95 ], are suitable for resilient WSNs.…”
