In wireless sensor networks (WSN), two major challenges are how to conserve the battery power and a series of security challenges. The power conservation and security are important for reliability and longevity of a WSN. This paper proposes an approach called "priority based approach (PBA)" which empowers the node to choose the most important packet based on the priority and the current energy status of the forwarding node. Thus we can minimize the average delay and energy spent and maximize the throughput and packet delivery ratio (PDR) when compared to game theory approach.
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.
