Implementation of Energy Aware Modified Distance Vector Routing Protocol for Energy Efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks

This paper proposes a method to address minimum energy routing problems on wireless sensor networks (WSN) with the use of distance vector routing protocol. Consider a network consisting of n number of sensors. Consider each node v in the network with the power of transmission as p(v) and the value of reception as R(v) when a packet is being received. The major problem to be taken care of is: How to construct a routing tree with minimum transmission and reception values when a request is given. This involves two cases where the cost of reception of v depends on v and also the node that transmits it, on the other hand, the cost of reception of v depends only on itself and it does not depend on the node that transmits it.
