Abstract
Energy efficiency to route data in wireless sensor networks is key concern to enhance network lifetime. In this paper, an energy efficient routing protocol has been proposed using fuzzy logic tools. Fuzzy sets and fuzzy decision rules have been introduced for intelligent selection of CHs and to establish multi-hop routes to base station. The performance of the proposed protocol is compared with FD-LEACH, OCM-FCM and MH-EEBCDA. Simulation results confirm that the proposed protocol is far better than these protocols in terms network lifetime and throughput. The performance of proposed protocol improves further for networks with higher node density.
