Spin-MI: Energy Saving Routing Algorithm Based on SPIN Protocol in WSN

Data transmission in wireless domain is one of the major challenges in wireless sensor networks (WSN). Efficient use of energy and time is major field of research in wireless sensor networks; different routing protocols have been proposed to overcome these problems. In this paper we proposed a modified version of SPIN protocol named SPIN-MI and compared its performance with traditional SPIN-BC protocol using broadcast communication. We simulate it from two aspects using C and MATLAB: The consumption of energy and the number of alive nodes in the sensor networks. The simulation result shows that not only the problem of Blind Forwarding and Data Unaccessibility in SPIN those have been solved, but also extended the network life time and quick response to request is made.
