An Energy Efficient Optimal Path Selection Using AODV Protocol in Wireless Sensor Network

Wireless sensor network is a vast and emerging field. Due to its ubiquitous nous, the wireless nodes are implemented in almost all the areas. Energy efficiency and reliability in data transfer is the primary concern when it comes to implementing wireless nodes for critical applications. In this paper, Successive Convex Approximation Algorithm (SCA) is used along with AODV to improve the data reliability and manage the energy in the network efficiently. The algorithm finds the shortest path to the node using the algorithm in an existing convex network. During the selection of nodes, the energy levels of all the nodes are monitored to improve the network lifetime as a whole
