Finding a Shorter Path in Wireless Sensor Networks
Abstract
The objective of operational research is to find optimal solutions to economic problems using mathematical methods capable of being programmed by computer. Graph theory is a fundamental part of operations research. The objectives of our work is to study the problem of finding a shorter path by applying Dijkstra's algorithms in wireless sensor networks. In this work, we tried to shorten the path of transmitted data packets since their energy consumption is about 70% of the overall energy consumption of the network.
