摘要：Wireless sensor networks consist of sensor nodes that have limited processing capability, small memory and low energy source. These nodes are deployed randomly and often densely in the environment. In monitoring applications, sensor nodes sense data from the environment periodically and then transmit them to a base station which is called sink node. Thereby data transmission consumes node�s energy based on transmission distance. In most wireless sensor networks, the energy source of the node is limited and cannot be minimized. Here, we have proposed the Efficient Energy based Multipath Cluster Routing Protocol for minimizing the energy consumption in WSNs. It consists of four phases. In this cluster formation, cluster head records all the cluster members. In multipath routing, network is organized as a group of networks. It provides load balancing and increased throughput to the network. In last two phases, both energy consumption model and condition for minimizing average energy consumption was proposed. The proposed scheme attains balance end to end delay, delivery rate and energy efficiency in WSNs. By simulation results, the proposed EEMCRP achieves better data delivery ratio, improved network lifetime, less end to delay and energy consumption in terms of mobility, time, throughput, simulation time and number of nodes than the existing scheme.
