An Energy Efficient Routing with Range Switching in WSN

Wireless sensor networks represent an innovative prototype for extracting data from the environment for various applications. It consist of various sensors which send their sensed data to base station. So energy preservation is a key issue for sensor nodes as they have restricted power. This has led to a number of routing scheme for maximizing the network lifetime. In this paper we have enhanced the energy utilization efficiently with "Range Switching". Here, we have further applied range switching technique at its best rate to the Gradient based routing Protocol for enhancing the performance, which shows the potential gain in its throughput.
