Utilizing A Dynamic Source Routing Protocol (EIGRP) Approach Can Enhance Energy Efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks.

Abstract

An infrastructure-free wireless network called a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is set up ad hoc using a large number of wireless sensors to monitor environmental, physical, and system conditions. The data transfer from the sensor nodes caused the collision, and the extra data transmission by the sensor nodes is the reason for the excessive traffic at the SINK node. The Medium Access Control (MAC) mechanism in a WSN controls a crucial portion of resource utilization. An established MAC protocol was started to use the single channel of the WSN for data transfer. The deployment of wireless sensor nodes is problematic in severe environments because abrupt changes in a node's status and a link's quality can cause extreme conditions to alter. Since sensor nodes have a finite amount of energy, extending the life of a network is crucial. As a dynamic routing system to address issues, the Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), a sophisticated distance-vector routing protocol, was created. EIGRP is used on a computer network to automate routing decisions and setup. EIGRP reduces the amount of data that needs to be transmitted and the strain on the router by just providing incremental updates. This study will discuss the use of EIGRP to increase energy efficiency.
