Equal Area Partition-Based Energy Efficient Routing Algorithm for Circular WSN

Abstract

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is communicating method with each other without the assistance of communication cable. The circular environment is an important application scenario in WSN. As a core technology, routing algorithm is the brain of WSN monitoring system. In this paper, we propose a new routing algorithm named Equal Area Partition Based Energy Efficient Multipath Algorithm (EAPEEM), which tries to exploit sector equal area model in node deployment, data transfer, and route maintenance. Existing algorithms, as compared to our existing models, do not fully match with routing and nodes. One attractive feature of our protocol is its balanced network transmission capacity and improved node energy utilization, which can reduce the possibility of system damage. Simulations show that EAPEEM can retain at least 28.6% of batteries and expand stability by more than 43%.
