Abstract: “This paper proposes a Reliable Traffic Aware Energy Balance greedy Algorithm (RTAEB) to achieve both minimum energy consumption and balanced energy consumption among sensor nodes for Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) lifetime extension. In addition, data reliability is considered in our model where, the sensed data can reach the sink node in a more reliable way. Finally, buffer space is considered to reduce the packet loss and energy consumption due to the retransmission of the same packets. Through simulation, the performance of proposed algorithm is compared with the previous work such as EBRP, ACO, TADR, SEB, and CLR-Routing.”
