Abstract
In wireless sensor networks, energy is the most important consideration because the lifetime of the sensor node is limited by battery. Most of the existing energy efficient routing protocols use the minimum energy path to minimize energy consumption, which causes an unbalanced distribution of residual energy among nodes. As a result, the power of nodes on energy efficient paths is quickly depletes resulting in inactive. To solve these problems, a method to equalize the energy consumption of the nodes has been proposed, but do not consider the link error rate in the wireless environment. In this paper, we propose a uniform energy consumption of cluster-based multi-hop routing mechanism considering the residual energy and the link error rate. This mechanism reduces energy consumption caused by unnecessary retransmissions and distributes traffic evenly over the network because considering the link error rate. The simulation results compared to other mechanisms, the proposed mechanism is energy-efficient by reducing the number of retransmissions and activation time of all nodes involved in the network has been extended by using the energy balanced path.
