A. H. Mohamed, A. M. Nassar . Optimizing the Routing of Wireless Sensor Networks for Obstacles-avoidance. International Journal of Computer Applications. 170, 8 ( Jul 2017), 20-24. DOI=10.5120/ijca2017914927
In the recent years, wireless sensor networks (WSNs), have become essential part in a huge number of the modern applications. Researchers have developed a lot of work to improve their performance. But, practically WSNs still face with different kinds of obstacles those cause main challenges for their reliability. Therefore, finding an optimum obstacle-avoiding route path for the WSNs is considered an important research problem. The present work introduces a new optimum routing algorithm based on the cluster-based method for the WSNs with obstacles. The proposed system uses the cluster-based method and the mobile sink to decrease the power consumptions and increase the lifetime of the WSNs. Besides, it uses the genetic algorithm to optimize the avoiding-obstacles routing path. Suggested system has been applied for a WSN used to communicate between a discovery-radiation robot and its operating system as a case of study. Simulation results for the tested WSN and their comparison with three other route algorithms have proved the effectiveness of the proposed novel method.
