An Energy-Balanced Routing Method Based on Forward- 
Aware Factor for Wireless Sensor Networks 
ABSTRACT: 
As an important part of industrial application (IA), the wireless sensor network 
(WSN) has been an active research area over the past few years. Due to the limited 
energy and com-munication ability of sensor nodes, it seems especially importantto 
design a routing protocol for WSNs so that sensing data can be transmitted to the 
receiver effectively. An energy-balanced routing method based on forward-aware 
factor (FAF-EBRM) is proposed in this paper. In FAF-EBRM, the next-hop node 
is selected according to the awareness of link weight and forward energy density. 
Furthermore, a spontaneous reconstruction mechanism for local topology is 
designed additionally. In the experiments, FAF-EBRM is compared with LEACH 
and EEUC, experimental results show that FAF-EBRM outperforms LEACH and 
EEUC, which balances the energy consumption, prolongs the function lifetime and 
guarantees high QoS of WSN. 
EXISTING SYSTEM: 
BBV model is widely used to analyze the real complex networks such as scientist 
collaboration network (SCN) and worldwide airport network (WWAN). Similar to
SCN and WWAN, there are numerous nodes and community structures (clusters) 
in WSN, important nodes (cluster heads) have more connections than common 
nodes. Many researches on “energy ho le” show that the data flow on each 
connection varies considerably in WSN because of these different distances to the 
sink node. Thus, it is not suitable to represent a connection as connected (“1”) or 
connectionless (“0”). Furthermore, global information is limited in WSN of IA 
sensors exchange information in their “local-world”. Overall, weighted network 
and local-world theory is appropriate to model WSN of IA. 
DISADVANTAGES OF EXISTING SYSTEM: 
 Each sensor node is both a sensor and a router, and its computing ability, 
storage capacity, communication ability, and power supply are limited. 
 Due to the limited energy and communication ability of sensor nodes, it 
seems especially important to design a routing protocol for WSNs so that 
sensing data can be transmitted to the receiver effectively.
PROPOSED SYSTEM: 
In this paper, we propose an approach to the problem of routing around 
connectivity holes that works in any connected topology without the overhead and 
inaccuracies incurred by methods based on topology planarization. Specifically, we 
define a cross-layer protocol, named ALBA for Adaptive Load-Balancing 
Algorithm, whose main ingredients (geographic routing, load balancing, 
contention-based relay selection) are blended with a mechanism to route packets 
out and around dead ends, the Rainbow protocol. The combination of the two 
protocols, called ALBA-R, results in an integrated solution for convergecasting in 
WSNs that, although connected, can be sparse and with connectivity holes. 
ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM: 
 Achieves performance superior to existing protocols in terms of energy 
efficiency, packet delivery ratio (PDR), and latency. 
 The Rainbow mechanism allows guarantee packet delivery in realistic 
deployment.
 Simulation results also show better performance than that of two recent 
proposals for routing around dead ends.
