Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been increasingly deployed for ambient data reporting for varied settings. Certain applications like industrial monitoring, healthcare and military require a highly reliable source to the sink communication link. Due to limited energy WSNs pose additional challenge to the reliable source to the sink communication. Fast energy drainage can cause a link failure, hence affecting the overall reliability. In this paper, a novel three tiered multi-hop scheme has been introduced. At first level there are sensor nodes for sensing, at second level there are relay nodes for relaying and at the third level there are gateway nodes for managing the cluster and communicating to and from the cluster. By distributing the load among these three tiered nodes, overall node and network lifetime can be greatly increased. With the help of reduced energy consumption and less end-to-end hops this schemes guarantees a reliable source to the sink communication.
