EPMR: Energy Proficient Mobile Routing for Scalable Wireless Sensor Networks.

Mobility has ultimate applications in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) including several areas such as wildlife intensive care, health monitoring, flood and fire detection, and much more. Mobile WSNs (MWSNs) have captivated customer attention in recent centuries because of their applications in numerous areas. Mobile WSNs are source constraints and request performance studies by many nodes' movement outlines. Usually, routing algorithms in MWSN have been examined for specified movement. However, for instantaneous network scenarios, designing an efficient routing protocol/algorithm and analysing changes in numerous movement outlines on routing approaches are important to provide efficient results. Hence, keeping in the assessment of the aforesaid problem, an Energy Proficient Mobile Routing (EPMR) protocol is proposed. All the simulations have been completed in MATLAB on varied constraints to assess the effectiveness of EPMR and state-of-the-art routing protocols. Simulation outcomes demonstrate that EPMR provides improved performance than Distributed Efficient Multi-hop Clustering (DEMC), Geographic Robust Clustering (GRC), Mobility Aware Routing (MAR), Distributed Efficient Clustering Approach (DECA), and Improved Energy Mobile Routing (ECMR). EPMR enhances packet delivery ratio by 13–15%, reduces packet loss percentage by 12–14%, extends throughput by 14–16%, decreases overhead by 13–14%, minimizes average end-to-end delay by 13–15%, minimizes energy consumption by 16–18%, and extends network lifetime 17–19% on sensors' mobility. EPMR achieves better outcomes with the Random Waypoint Mobility (RWPM) model than the Random Walk Mobility (RWM) model and Pathway Mobility (PM) model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
