Abstract

Energy consumption is the critical issue to determine the lifetime of Wireless sensor networks (WSNs), due to limited batteries power resource of sensor nodes. The optimization of energy consumption is involves reduction of energy consumption in order to prolong the lifetime of the network as much as possible. However, to minimize the overall energy consumption of the sensor network, different types of routing protocols have been proposed. This paper proposes an energy efficient routing protocol using the A-star search algorithm to find the optimal path from the source node to the sink node. Simulation results with Matlab show that our proposed protocol is efficient in terms of total energy consumption and network lifetime compared with fuzzy approach.
