An energy balanced anti-interference routing algorithm for wireless sensor networks

To prolong the life of the whole network, this paper has proposed an energy balanced and anti-interference routing algorithm for wireless sensor networks based on power control. This routing algorithm will select the path with nodes which can provide relatively a higher stability, more energy and their location are closer to sink node so that the energy of each node can be balanced and network delay can be reduced with parallel transmission. Experimental data have shown that the algorithm called EBAR proposed in this paper can provide the whole network a relatively more balanced energy consumption, a less transmission delay and a lower rate of packet loss than AODV algorithm and NAVC-AODV algorithm.
