Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of sensor nodes, which can sense, process, and then transfer different types of data into the base station. The major role of sensor nodes is to gather data at regular intervals and then send it into the base station. Designing energy-efficient routing protocols is one of the major challenges in WSNs. In this paper, an energy efficient layered routing protocol (EELRP) is proposed. The proposed method divides the network into some concentric circles of different radii. The circles are divided into eight equal sectors. Sections are created through a crossover between layers and sectors. Each section contains some nodes, and the most appropriate one is selected as the agent. The nodes of each section send the sensed data to their agent. Next, the agent aggregates the data, provides error detection and correction according to the redundant residue number system, and then sends information to the agent of the lower section of the same sector. The procedure continues until the information reaches the base station. On comparing the performance of EELRP with that of conventional methods, one can see that EELRP provides an improvement in the network lifetime, energy consumption, packet delivery rate, and the number of path hops.
