Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have a power source limitation constraint, which affects
the full functionality of its nodes. Existing research focuses on extending the lifetime of
the network or minimizing its delay.
Energy and delay are introduced into a cost function to optimize the data delivery to
the sink. The optimization process becomes more complicated when the network size is
increased. A practical routing algorithm is needed to match node capacity and achieve
near-optimal lifetime and acceptable delay limits.
Angular Directional Routing (ADR) is implemented. ADR routes data based on
angles between nodes and the direct path to the destination. Simulations show that
ADR outperforms other well-known routing protocols, in terms of average end-to-end
delay and energy-efficiency. ADR has the potential to increase network lifetime more
effectively than Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) protocol. ADR achieves
a lower delay compared to Flow Augmentation Routing (FAR).
