Abstract
This paper presents the magnetic field modeling-based energy efficient routing for WSN which models the routing problem as a current-carrying solenoid and a free to turn magnet put into a uniform magnetic field respectively. The optimal routing is then performed through the path with the maximum generated magnetic field intensity for the solenoid technique and with minimum torque for the magnetic torque technique. The proposed approaches have been incorporated into AODV. The case studies and the simulation show that the load distribution of our proposed methodology is more balanced than that of the conventional AODV.
