Abstract

The main tasks of a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) are data collection from its nodes and communication of this data to the base station (BS). The protocols used for communication among the WSN nodes and between the WSN and the BS, must consider the resource constraints of nodes, battery energy, computational capabilities and memory. The WSN applications involve unattended operation of the network over an extended period of time. In order to extend the lifetime of a WSN, efficient routing protocols need to be adopted. The proposed low power routing protocol based on tree-based network structure reliably forwards the measured data towards the BS using TDMA. An energy consumption analysis of the WSN making use of this protocol is also carried out. It is found that the network is energy efficient with an average duty cycle of 0:7% for the WSN nodes. The OmNET++ simulation platform along with MiXiM framework is made use of.
