description

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have the capability to become the eyes and ears for the future networked society allowing monitoring of any habitat or object's properties remotely and independently of an energy source. Services based on this technology may change the way we monitor and control remote areas and objects. In this paper we propose a different approach to routing data across Wireless Sensor Networks. We argue that a distance-vector protocol using a lifespan-aware metric is a plausible solution to the task of routing information in WSN in a manner that both saves energy of the individual node and manages summarized energy of the system equally and fairly. The concept is designed to handle heterogeneous WSNs with different hardware and battery capacities while retaining a true peer-to-peer network topology.
