Keywords: Wireless Sensor Network, adaptive routing, energy optimization, network lifetime, multi-hop communicationAbstract
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are widely used in various monitoring applications, but the limited energy resources of sensor nodes pose a major challenge that affects network performance and lifetime. Conventional routing protocols tend to be static and less adaptable to dynamic network conditions, resulting in uneven energy consumption and shortening network lifetime. This study aims to optimize energy consumption and extend network lifetime in WSNs through the application of adaptive routing algorithms. This study uses a simulation-based quantitative study approach, by designing an adaptive routing algorithm that considers node energy remaining, transmission distance, and communication load. Performance evaluation was conducted through network simulation with a multi-hop communication scheme and compared with the LEACH and PEGASIS routing algorithms using the same simulation parameters. Simulation results show that the adaptive routing algorithm has lower total network energy consumption, which is around ±120 Joules, compared to LEACH (±200 Joules) and PEGASIS (±280 Joules). In addition, the network lifetime increased to approximately ±1800 seconds, which is longer than the comparison algorithms. The results of this study prove that the adaptive routing algorithm is capable of optimizing energy consumption and significantly improving the resilience of WSN networks. Further research is recommended to test the algorithm in more complex and heterogeneous network scenarios and to integrate network security aspects.
