Energy Aided Shortest Path Routing Protocol (EASPRP) for Highly Data Centric Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consists of many sensors which are densely deployed to get the necessary information. They are constraint in many resources such as energy, memory, computational speed and communications bandwidth etc. Power and energy are the two major issues in WSNs. To use the available power judiciary, uniformly, multiple paths in load balancing fashion and multiple events simultaneously in any direction need to be addressed. Here, we are proposing a new approach which is based on prim's approach. EASPRP, new routing mechanism for wireless environment has been designed and proposed which is inspired from a shortest path using Prim's algorithm. The prim's approach more efficient then Dijkstra's as the complexity reduces to O((n+e) log n). In Wireless Sensor Networks domain like energy level status, damage of some node accidently/ intensely, loop free routing has been considered and bypass to such occurrence has been integrated in the proposed solution.
