Abstract:
We present and evaluate a new algorithm for online power-aware routing in wireless sensor networks which enhances the well-known max-min zPmin algorithm to support node priority assignment driven by the network connectivity model. Nodes that are critical to the network connectivity structure are marked with high priority and route less traffic to prolong the network's lifetime. Simulation of specific network topologies and traffic scenarios shows that this new algorithm can multiply network lifetime by the number of connectivity 2-components in the network.
