Game Theoretic Energy Balance Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks

A game theoretic energy balance routing (GTEBR) algorithm was proposed to avoid unevenly energy consuming in wireless sensor networks. In GTEBR algorithm, arbitration mechanism and confidence probability are introduced to convert static game of incomplete information into static game of complete but imperfect information and the method of static game is imposed to solve this problem. Moreover, the calculation method for node is put forward and the existence of Nash equilibrium of the sensor networks is proofed in this paper. Simulation results show that the GTEBR algorithm has good astringency and performance.
