Summary:To reduce the redundant overhead and to conserve nodes' energy in bidirectional minimum hop routing for wireless sensor networks (WSNs), we propose in this paper a cross-layer energy-balanced bidirectional minimum hop routing algorithm (CEBMHR). The proposed algorithm has three key functionalities: (1) establishes the downstream routing by means of source routing without using extra control packets, (2) disperses the information of nodes' residual energy with little overhead based on cross-layer design, and (3) uses hop count and nodes' residual energy as upstream and downstream routing criterion. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that our proposed algorithm can reduce the control overhead and nodes' energy consumption, and extend the network lifetime.
