MEACSRA: Mobility and energy-aware cross-layer searching routing algorithm for wireless sensor network

Abstract

WSNs with randomly deployed nodes, to reduce energy consumption while ensuring the connectivity and power of entire network is an important issue of research. A mobility and energy-aware cross-layer searching routing algorithm works in stationary and mobile scenario with the satisfactory performance in addition to mobility handling, provides route to nodes which forward data between each other directly in a single hop, or indirectly through multiple hops via neighbouring nodes and considers the channel assessing mechanism as well. This algorithm performs better in both CFP and CAP. Markov model analysis shows the state of each step. Cross-layer design considering MAC and PHY layer yields better performance. Simulated result shows energy consumption is efficient in both stationary and mobile scenario for larger scale network.
