Abstract

Wireless sensor network commonly used to monitor wild environments with sparse events. In this application, the primary concern is how to maximize the network lifetime. In order to save energy, the intermittent connected wireless sensor network(ICWSN) is formed by putting nodes into sleeping state for a long time. In the paper, we propose a link metric which considers both link quality and residual energy of nodes for delivering packets on wireless links and presents a routing protocol called EBRP based on the link metric in ICWSN. Using data packet retransmission mechanism based on predicting active time slots of nodes solves the problem of data transmission failure due to unreliable links. Simulation shows that the proposed protocol achieves a good balance between reliability and real-time, as well as the maximum network lifetime.
