Innovative Approach to Enhance the Lifespan of Wireless Sensor Networks

This paper presents lifetime maximization of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Wireless Sensor Networks has gained interest among the researchers despite of its limits. The most common issues in WSNs are the constraints on the energy. The performance of the deployed sensor nodes have also depends on the lifetime of the networks and thus, the scope for improving the lifetime of the WSNs has become a challenging task. Improvement of a WSN lifetime is a significant and challenging task since the sensor nodes of the WSN are constrained by limited energy. Energy efficient routing is one of the solutions to this, since it maximizes the overall performance of the nodes. In this paper the lifespan maximization of the WSNs is done using Prim's algorithm and genetic algorithms. The simulated results have demonstrated the improved efficiency of the network systems by minimizing the communication iteration and optimizing the intermediate node's usage.
