An Optimized Stochastic Distance Vector (OSDV) Protocol for Enhanced Energy Efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks

In recent years, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are attracting a great deal of interest from both the business world and the academic community. WSNs are often made up of a network of Sensor Nodes (SNs), which perform various tasks, such as data collecting, interpreting, and transmitting. While batteries have been employed for powering WSNs across numerous commercial uses, their limited lifespan and cumbersome replacement need have evolved into major obstacles to the widespread adoption of WSNs. Managing energy throughout a WSN's lifecycle is crucial. In this research a new Optimized Stochastic Distance Vector (OSDV) protocol has been proposed to improve the energy efficiency of WSN using a distance metric, which is the focus of this research. To determine the Sink Node (SiN) distance, it compare the initial distance from a fixed point to the final distance needed for reaching the SiN. Data packets are sent using this protocol following an index of neighboring SN metrics. To improve the efficiency of the network, the suggested OSP prioritizes reducing energy consumption and redistributing traffic between SNs. The network's expected lifetime will increase as a result. Finally it compare the efficiency of the OSDV proposed protocol with the DMSSS current protocol concerning the metrics of “Energy Efficiency”, “Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR)”, “Throughput”, and “Routing Overhead” over the WSN.
