Abstract

In a wireless sensor network [1], the operation of a node depends on the battery power it carries. Because of the environmental reasons, the node cannot replace the battery. In order to improve the life cycle of the network, energy becomes one of the key problems in the design of the wireless sensor network (WSN) routing protocol [2]. This paper proposes a routing protocol ERGD based on the method of gradient descent that can minimizes the consumption of energy. Within the communication radius of the current node, the distance between the current node and the next hop node is assumed that can generate a projected energy at the distance from the current node to the base station (BS), this projected energy and the remaining energy of the next hop node is the key factor in finding the next hop node. The simulation results show that the proposed protocol effectively extends the life cycle of the network and improves the reliability and fault tolerance of the system.
