In this paper, we propose a new energy-efficient routing algorithm for sensor networks that selects a least energy consuming path among the paths formed by node with highest remaining energy and provides long network lifetime and uniform energy consumption by nodes. The pair distribution of the energy consumption over all the possible routes to the base station is one of the design objectives. Also, an alternate route search mechanism is proposed to cope with the situation in which no routing information is available due to lack of remaining energy of the neighboring nodes. Simulation results show that our algorithm extends the network lifetime and enhances the network reliability by maintaining relatively uniform remaining energy distribution among sensor nodes.

In this paper, we propose location-aided cooperative routing protocol (LACARP) for supporting power saving and stable route lifetime in mobile ad-hoc wireless sensor networks. The main ideas and features of the proposed routing protocol are as follows. First, the definition of the area of route search using location-based information to support power saving transmission. Second, the expect zone-based establishment of routing route within the area of route search. Third, the cooperative-aided transmission method. In the operation of data transmission over the established rout the datas are transmitted via both the established route and cooperative route aided by neighbor nodes. The performance evaluation using OPNET(Optimized Network Engineering Tool) shows the LACARP can improve the packet delivery ratio and power saving transmission efficiently.

During the routing process between nodes on the CR(Cognitive Radio) network conducting for efficient use of limited frequency resources, spectrum handover process due to the appearance of the PU occupies most of the routing latency, and also decreases the reliability of the path. In this paper, a cooperative routing protocol in a multi-channel environment is proposed. The source node broadcasts a message with available channel lists and probability of PU appearance during its route guidance. The intermediate nodes re-transmit the message, received from the source node, and update and maintain the information, status table of the path. The destination node determines the optimal path and sends a reply message to the selected path after it receives the messages from the intermediate nodes. The average probability of the PU appearance and the average time of the PU appearance are updated while transferring data. During data transmission the channel with the lowest probability of appearance of the PU is selected dynamically and if a PU appears on the current channel partial repairment is performed. It is examined that reliability of the selected path considerably is improved and the routing cost is reduced significantly compared to traditional routing methods.

Without the aid of stationary infrastructure, maintaining routing information for all nodes is inefficient in the Mobile Ad hoc Networks(MANET). It is more efficient when every time routing information is necessary that the source node broadcasts a query message to neighbour nodes. The source node using Ad hoc On-Demand distance Vector(AODV), which is one of the routing protocols of MANET, uses the Expanding Ring Search(ERS) algorithm which finds a destination node efficiently. In order to reduce the congestion of the network, ERS algorithm does not broadcast Route REQuest(RREQ) messages in the whole network. When the timer expires, if source node does not receive Route REPly(RREP) messages from the destination node, it gradually increases TTL value and broadcasts RREQ messages. Existing AODV cost a great deal to find a destination node because it uses a fixed NODE_TRAVERSAL_TIME value. Without the message which is added in existing AODV protocols, this paper measures delay time among the neighbours' nodes by making use of HELLO messages. We propose Adaptive ERS(AERS) algorithm that makes NET_TRAVERSAL_TIME optimum which apply to the measured delay time to NODE_TRAVERSAL_TIME. AERS suppresses the unnecessary messages, making NET_TRAVERSAL_TIME optimum in this paper. So we will be able to improve a network performance. We prove the effectiveness of the proposed method through simulation.

The first mission for the IoT based hyper-connectivity communication is developing a device-to-device communication technique in infra-less low-power and lossy networks. In a low-power and lossy wireless network, IoT devices and routers cannot keep the original path toward the destination since they have the limited memory. Different from the previous light-weight routing protocols focusing on the reduction of the control messages, the proposed scheme provides the light-weight IPv6 address auto-configuration, IPv6 neighbor discovery and routing protocol in a IoT capable infra-less wireless networks with the bloom filer and enhanced rank concepts. And for the first time we evaluate our proposed scheme based on the modeling of various probability distributions in the IoT environments with the lossy wireless link. Specifically, the proposed enhanced RPL based light-weight routing protocol improves the robustness with the multi-paths locally established based on the enhanced rank concepts even though lossy wireless links are existed. We showed the improvements of the proposed scheme up to 40% than the RPL based protocol.
