Energy-aware fuzzy routing for wireless sensor networks

Abstract

In recent vears. many approaches and techniques have been explored fbr the optinmization of energy usage in wireless sensor network-s. Routing is one of these areas in which attempts fjr etjicient utilization of energy have been made. These attempts use fixed (crisp) metrics for making energy-aware rouiting decisions. In this paper, we present a novel generalized fizzy, logic based approach for energyaware routting in wireless sensor networks. This generalized approach is soft acnd tutnable and hence it can accommodate sensor networks comprising of different types of sensor nodes.
