International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies
Power utilization in an efficient manner is a hot research issue in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). WSNs consist of energy hungry sensor nodes. Researchers have been trying to increase the lifetime of WSN since the development of WSN technology. Dynamic Transmission Power Control (DTPC) is a method for an efficient utilization of the energy resource and thus leads to an increase in lifetime. It has been used for the determination of minimum transmission power. A valuable study about the impact of variable transmission power on link quality has already been present in literature. In contrast to DTPC, transmitting data at …

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies
This paper presents the implementation of two routing protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs): GRACE (GRAdient Cost Establishment for Energy Aware routing) and GRAB (GRAdient Broadcasting) along with their comparative analysis using Sun SPOT sensor nodes, developed by Sun Microsystems. The performance of both the routing protocols is evaluated on the basis of various performance metrics including network lifetime, throughput and network energy etc. However in papers where these routing protocols presented, practical limitations of wireless sensor nodes were ignored. The communication of sensor nodes is established using multiple communication channels for proper implementation of both the routing protocols, GRACE …
