An Energy-aware Routing Protocol Based on Effective Transmission
基于有效传输的能量敏感的路由协议

Energy awareness is a basic requirement in the design of sensor networks. The existed position-based routing protocols have not considered whether the forwarding candidate is more farther from the source node with respect to its sender, which will give less efficiency. This paper introduces a novel concept of Effective Transmission (ET) that ensures each forwarding node is not only nearer to the destination node, but also farther from the source node with respect to its sender. An energy-aware routing protocol based on ET is proposed. The simulation results show the routing protocol is effective on the performance of energy consumption when compared with some other routing protocols.
