Abstract
This paper presents a routing mechanism to prolong the lifetime of error-prone wireless sensor networks. The proposed mechanism estimates the amount of energy consumption for communications and the expected residual energy in advance, which is based on the qualities of wireless links. Then, the proposed mechanism selects a path that is expected to have the most residual energy, and sends sensory data along the path. This mechanism reduces energy consumption caused by unnecessary retransmissions and distributes traffic evenly over the network owing to taking error rates into consideration, and extends energy depletion by selecting a path with the maximum of the minimal expected residual energy amounts. The experiment results show that the proposed mechanism prolongs network lifetime, compared to the existing methods.
