Low energy utilization and reliability in packet transmission are factors that seriously affect the performance of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) and Quality of Service (QoS) in general. Regarding routing strategy, the efficient forwarding methods can cause more throughput, less packet loss with less energy usage. To this purpose multi-attribute, decision-making (MADM) methods are proposed in hop-by-hop sending data scenarios, as the most efficient methods in selecting the reliable path towards the sink node. In such a decision-making environment, various routing metrics are taken into account. This paper compares Wise Route routing protocol and modified-Wise Route (MwiseRoute) by TOPSIS with indexes (signal to noise ratio, residual energy, distance from the node, farness from the sink node) balances by self-sets weights (0.3, 0.5, 0.1,0.1) respectively. The evaluation has been tested on Mixim 3.2 in Omnet++.4.6. The result shows MwiseRoute with TOPSIS is more appropriate in gaining more throughput and significantly decreases packet drop in mac by less power drain.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
