Opportunistic routing based on cellular wireless sensor network

Abstract

In wireless sensor network, routing protocol is of great importance and can directly affect the quality of network performance. However, traditional routing protocols usually choose a fixed path to select a particular node as the next hop, which undoubtedly have much deficiency. This paper proposes a modified, energy-aware routing protocol based on cell in current wireless sensor network and it can not only be used in node distribution from engineering aspects, but also can optimize nodes' energy consumption for the whole network, and the simulation shows its efficiency.
