Energy-Aware Cluster-Based Routing in IoT-Driven Next-GenerationWireless Sensor Networks
Published in International Conference on Optical and Wireless Technologies (OWT 2025), 2025, Goa, India, 2025
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are vital for the advancement of IoT applications within 5G and beyond. However, the energy constraints of sensor nodes remain a primary obstacle to network reliability and longevity. To address this, the Balanced Cluster Routing Protocol (BCRP) has been developed as a hierarchical, hybrid solution designed to enhance energy efficiency.
