Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are pivotal in the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling real-time data collection and monitoring across various applications. However, the limited energy resources of sensor nodes pose significant challenges, particularly in remote or inaccessible areas. This paper explores energy-efficient routing protocols designed to enhance the sustainability of WSNs in IoT contexts. We examine various strategies, including clustering-based methods, bio-inspired algorithms, and hybrid approaches, assessing their impact on network lifetime, energy consumption, and data transmission reliability. Through comparative analysis and simulation results, we identify the strengths and limitations of each protocol, providing insights into their suitability for different IoT applications. The findings aim to guide the development of more energy-efficient and sustainable WSNs, contributing to the broader goal of sustainable IoT infrastructure.Wireless Sensor Networks Research Group+1SpringerOpen+1
