Balancing Energy Consumption in Wireless Sensor Networks Using Fuzzy Artificial Bee Colony Routing Protocol
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MANAGEMENT & INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY - Year 2013, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Energy is an extremely critical resource for battery-powered Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), thus making energy-efficient protocol design a key challenging problem. Most of the existing routing protocols always forward packets along the minimum energy paths to merely minimize energy consumption, which causes an Uneven Energy Consumption (UEC) problem and eventually results in a network partition. Due to the limited energy resources of sensor nodes, selecting an appropriate routing protocol can be significantly improve overall performance especially energy awareness in WSNs. Therefore, this paper proposes an energy-efficient routing protocol called Fuzzy Artificial Bee Colony Routing Protocol (FABCRP) which is capable of finding the optimal routing path form the source to the destination by favoring some of routing criteria and balancing among them to prolong the network lifetime. To demonstrate the effectiveness of FABCRP in terms of balancing energy consumption and maximization of network lifetime, we compare it with Fuzzy approach, ABC algorithm and Fuzzy_A-star approach using the same criteria in two different topographical areas. Simulation results show that the network lifetime achieved by FABCRP could be increased by nearly 35%, 30%, and 15% more than that obtained by Fuzzy, ABC and Fuzzy_A-star respectively.
