摘要：In this research work, we propose gateway based enhanced energy-aware routing protocol (EEARP) forWireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). We divide the sensor nodes into four logical regions on the basis of their locationin the sensing field. We install Base Station (BS) out of the sensing area and a gateway node at the centre of the sensingarea. If the distance of a sensor node from BS or gateway is less than predefined distance threshold, the node usesdirect communication. We divide the rest of nodes into two equal regions whose distance is beyond the thresholddistance. We select cluster heads (CHs)in each region which are independent of the other region. These CHs areselected on the basis of a probability. We compare performance of our protocol with LEACH (Low Energy AdaptiveClustering Hierarchy). Performance analysis and compared statistic results show that our proposed protocol performwell in terms of energy consumption and network lifetime.
