An Enhanced Routing Protocol Design to Perform Cost Efficient Data Communication over Wireless Sensor Networks

This research introduces a groundbreaking approach to address the challenges of cost-efficient data communication in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) through the development of a novel routing protocol named Cost-Efficient Enhanced Routing Protocol (CEERP). WSNs, characterized by resource-constrained sensor nodes and dynamic environmental conditions, necessitate innovative routing strategies to optimize energy consumption and enhance overall network performance. CEERP leverages a sophisticated methodology that integrates Energy Consumption Modeling, Adaptive Routing Decisions, alongside Optimization and Fine-Tuning. The Energy Consumption Modeling method systematically analyzes various factors influencing energy dynamics in sensor nodes, facilitating the creation of accurate mathematical models. These models inform CEERP’s routing algorithm, enabling intelligent decisions based on predicted energy consumption patterns. The protocol adapts dynamically to real-time variations in network conditions, ensuring responsiveness to changing environmental factors. Implementation and Simulation validate CEERP’s performance in diverse scenarios, while Optimization and Fine-Tuning finetune parameters for optimal efficiency. Security and reliability measures are integrated to safeguard data integrity. The research concludes with a comprehensive evaluation of CEERP’s effectiveness, positioning it as a promising solution for achieving cost-efficient and reliable data communication in WSNs. The proposed methodology and CEERP contribute to the advancement of routing protocols for WSNs, offering a holistic and adaptive approach to address the unique challenges posed by resource-constrained environments.
