Description
Summary:Energy limitations have become fundamental challenge for designing WSNs. Network lifetime is the most interested and important metric in WSNs. Many works have been developed for prolonging networks lifetime, in which one of the important work is the control of transmission power. This paper proposes a new fuzzy transmission power control technique that operate together with routing protocols for prolonging WSNs lifetime. Dijkstra shortest path routing is considered as the main routing protocol in this work. This paper mainly focuses on transmission power control scheme for prolonging WSNs lifetime. A performance comparison is depicted for maximum and controlled transmission power. Simulation results show an increase in network lifetime equals to 3.4776 for the proposed fuzzy control. The performance of the proposed fuzzy control technique involves a good improvement and contribution in the field of prolonging networks lifetime by using transmission power control.
