Abstract

Wireless sensor networks, which have been used in many applications in recent years, consist of tiny sensor nodes with restriction in processing ability and the battery unit. Because of that, one of the crucial problems in this field is power consumption and network lifetime. Geographic Adaptive Fidelity is a routing protocol which tries to reduce energy consumption by powering off unnecessary nodes. In this paper, we proposed a new backbone algorithm for this protocol to saving more energy which causes to improving the lifetime and performance of the networks. The results of simulation show that active grids will be halved approximately.
