Abstract

A new energy efficient routing algorithm for wireless sensor networks is proposed. The new routing algorithm (Resistance Distance Routing algorithm, RDR algorithm) optimizes the routing path based on the theory of resistance distance in electricity. This paper describes the whole process of RDR algorithm in detail, and simulates it with MATLAB. Simulation results show that RDR algorithm is superior to the GEAR (Geographical and Energy Aware Routing) algorithm both in the efficiency of energy consuming and the robustness of the network.
