Abstract

Energy efficient and reliable communication are two very important and conflicting requirements in the design of large-scale, self-organizing wireless sensor networks (WSNs). By reducing the transmission power level of the nodes, energy conservation is achieved whereas the communication reliability is degraded. We propose a novel opportunistic routing protocol to reduce the energy consumption while keep the communication reliability in acceptable levels. Transmission power Control-based Opportunistic Routing (TCOR) saves energy by reducing the transmission power of the nodes while maintains the communication reliability by employing the opportunistic forwarding paradigm, leveraging the broadcast nature of wireless transmission medium. We propose an expected energy cost function for next-hop forwarder set selection, which considers the multiple available transmission power levels and the impact of each one on the next-hop packet reception probability.

Simulation results show the proposed TCOR routing protocol can lower the energy consumption per packet by an average of 80% as compared with two opportunistic routing related protocols using the maximal power transmission. While significantly reduces the energy cost to deliver a data packet, TCOR keeps the packet delivery ratio in acceptable levels, being only 4% less than when maximum power level is used.
