Abstract
Nowadays, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have received a great importance because they are the best solutions used in harsh environments. These environments can be monitored by a set of mobile or stationary sensor nodes communicating with each other to deliver sensed data to the base station or sink node. In this type of harsh environments, it will be so difficult to replace or recharge batteries of sensor nodes which make energy consumption become the main limitation in WSNs. Battery power conservation is very important to make the sensor nodes alive for longer time and to increase the network lifetime.In this thesis, we propose two routing protocols, which are modified versions from the original Ad-hoc On-demand Multipath Distance Vector (AOMDV) routing protocol. In the path discovery phase in both protocols, we used a new energy metric instead of using the number of hops. Using paths with high energy metric in communication can prolong the WSN lifetime.
