Abstract

Due to energy resources constraint in wireless sensor networks, balancing energy consumption is very important in increasing the network life time. In this paper, the new hierarchical and dynamic routing algorithm is proposed to balance energy consumption among the nodes and to prevent from energy holing problem. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm prolongs the network lifetime about 40% compared to the LEACH protocol.
