Grey prediction-based energy-aware opportunistic routing in WSN. (9th November 2022) - Nagadivya, S.
Opportunistic routing (OR) protocol is widely applied for wireless sensor network (WSN) for maximising energy as well as network lifetime. OR selects the capable forwarder set of node for multi-hop forwarding, based on residual energy and transaction history. This selection process using the forwarding set will continue for every hop, till the destination is reached. This paper proposes a new routing protocol, namely grey prediction-based energy-aware OR protocol for WSN. The grey-prediction model is a proven model which needs minimum data for prediction and is used to select the nodes for the forwarding set used in every hop. The new protocol is simulated and compared with existing ones for performances. The observations suggested that the advocated protocol shows superior performance as against the already accepted protocols about network lifetime, throughput, and energy consumed and remaining.
