Linear Scalable Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

Abstract Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consisting of large number of low cost battery powered Sensor Nodes (SN’s) gaining attention of lot of researchers from past decade. Integration of SN’s with IoT devices results in large number of possible applications. Life of the network relies on the embedded battery & transmission of packets is major consumer of this limited power source. Lot of techniques exist in literature for effective utilization of this power source. This paper proposes a linear data communication scheme which can be scaled up/down as per the requirement of the application. Simulation results proves that scaling the network by increasing/decreasing nodes in same network area doesn’t impacts the lifetime of network, however if size of network is enhanced/shirked, correspondingly network life is also reduced/improved.
