Investigation and analysis of wireless sensor network routing protocol for improving themultimedia traffic based on fuzzy and genetic approach

Abstract

Energy efficient routing is an important design criteria for newlineWireless Sensor Networks WSN as mobile nodes are powered by batteries newlinewith limited capacity Mobile nodes power failure not only affects node itself newlinebut also packet forwarding ability for others and thereby reducing network life newlineA mobile node consumes battery energy when sendingreceiving packets and newlinealso when idles by listening to wireless media for communication requests newlinefrom nodes Thus energy efficient routing protocols minimize either the newlineactive communication energy required to transmit and receive data packets newlineor the energy during inactive periods Hence this leads for the energy newlinemanagement newline newline
