Abstract

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), energy utilization plays an essential part in the survival time (survivability) of the network. All the network aspects are redesigned to work in the WSN for lesser energy consumption. In this regard, routing protocol and dynamic topology are very crucial aspects to be noted. In this work, we present a competent ad-hoc sensor routing (CASeR) protocol for delay reduction, reliable data communication, and efficient energy usage in mobile WSNs (MWSNs). It is aimed to cope up with challenging requirements of the rising limited battery powered technologies, which requires low energy consumption and end-to-end delay (EED). Further, the CASeR uses reservation based channel allocation using reservation time division multiple access mobility adaptive cross-layer in dynamic networks and cost based multi-hop communication for packet forwarding and gradient maintenance. The MWSN routing protocols, robust ad-hoc sensor routing, mobility adaptive cross-layer routing, and proactive highly ambulatory sensor routing as well as the mobile ad-hoc network protocols, optimized link state routing and ad-hoc on demand distance vector, measure up with the CASeR. The simulation results show improvements over other routing protocols in energy consumption, EED, queuing delay, and reliable data communication. The competence of this protocol makes it highly suitable to minimize time delay in target applications.
