Abstract

Sensor networks are dense wireless networks where information is gathered by sensor elements spread out in an interest area. Energy efficient load balancing routing protocol can be used, in order to improve the network lifetime. In the existing Energy Aware Sink Relocation (EASR) algorithm, network lifetime has decreased because of only single sink can be relocated. The Multi Sink Heuristic (MSH) algorithms is the best way to move the sinks in order to improve the lifetime of network. Each sink know it own position, others sinks positions and the location of all the sensors. The sink knows its residual energy so it calculates the nearest hop count, after the calculation minimum hop count location will relocate the sink. Sink relocation is an efficient network lifetime extension method, which avoids consuming too much battery energy for a group of sensor nodes. Sink relocation is to prolonging the network lifetime and sensor nodes remain stationery to conserve battery energy. The results of the accomplished experiments show that the significant difference exists between the network life time of the MSH algorithm and the Energy Aware Sink Relocation (EASR) algorithm especially when the degree of network connectivity is high.
