Abstract
In this paper, we propose an Entropy-based Cooperative-Aided Routing Protocol (ECARP) in Mobile Ad-hoc fireless Sensor Networks (MAWSN). The main contributions and features of this paper are as follows. First, the entropy-based cooperative routing protocol which is based on node mobility is proposed for supporting stable routing route construction. Second, cooperative data transmission method is used for improving data transmission ratio with the improved SNR. Third, we consider a realistic approach, in the points of view of the MAWSN, based on mobile sensor nodes as well as fixed sensor nodes in sensor fields while the conventional research for sensor networks focus on mainly fixed sensor nodes. The performance evaluation of the proposed routing protocol is performed via simulation and analysis.
