SIPF Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks with Optimal Energy Efficiency Depending on Density

Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are viewed as a group of sensor nodes that monitor an area and interact collectively to provide data directly to the base station (BS) or intermediate sensor nodes through single-hop routing, multi-hop routing. The main characteristics of a WSN are: lifetime, rate of loss and security: The lifetime of a WSN is highly dependent on the energy consumption of the sensor nodes. This limitation makes extending the sensor node's life more difficult. In this paper, we present an upgrade to the Sink Initiated Path Formation (SIPF) protocol that minimizes power consumption and packet loss rate as a function of the density of sensor nodes in the vicinity of the "sink" sensor node.
