Energy efficient and reliable routing for mobile wireless sensor networks

In this paper, we present a novel energy efficient routing protocol for wireless sensor networks in which the sensor nodes as well as the base station are mobile. The protocol is hierarchical and cluster based from network structure perspective. Each cluster contains one cluster head node and two deputy cluster head nodes. The re-clustering time and energy has been minimized by introducing the concept of cluster head panel. Some simulation results are shown which depict the energy efficiency and prolonged life time of the nodes under the influence of the proposed protocol. Future scope of the work is outlined.
