Abstract

Wireless sensor networks are a very rapidly emerging class of network structures being utilized in almost all computing environments. Energy consumption is an essential criterion especially with the recent need in conservation of energy and carbon footprint. The proposed research paper investigated the prospects of green computing towards implementation of a hybrid algorithm (NNACOR) based on evolutionary computing model deriving its behaviour from naturally occurring phenomenon for reducing the energy consumed by each node in the mesh topology. The experiments have been conducted in NS2 and compared against the conventional AODC routing protocol, and the observed results indicate a superior performance of the proposed evolutionary model by providing up to a 48% in energy saving as against a 44% energy saving reported in the literature.
