Abstract
Due to implementation of routing protocols in
limited power supply devices in wireless sensor networks, this
paper presents and evaluates Energy Eficient Rainbow Collection
Tree Protocol (EFRCTP) as a novel, real-time, position based
and energy efficient routing protocoli that is a new version of
Rainbow Collection Tree Protocol (RCTP). RCTP is an enhanced
version of Collection Tree Protocol (CTP) as a lightweight
routing protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN)s. This
paper analyses the impact of the Radio Frequency (RF) range
to reducing the number of nodes which receive the signal
by using a novel Parent Forwarding Region (PFR) technique.
EFRCTP as a Geographical Routing Protocol (GRP) reduces the
number of forwarding nodes and finally reduce the number of
packets are sent and received and also to reduce collision in the
network. A series of performance evaluations through Matlab
and Omnet++ simulations show significant improvements in
network performance parameters and total energy consumption
over CTP and directed flooding routing protocols.
