Routing protocols are implemented to balance the traffic flow between the nodes in the network when a source node requests to send data to a destination. The optimal route is chosen by the routing protocol using specific rules and parameters, i.e. routing metrics. This paper presents a combination of route choice metrics aimed for mobile WSN applications. The combined metric is based on two hardware based information, the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) and the neighbor node residual energy. Simulation results show that the proposed metric improves the network performance in terms of energy budget and increases the system throughput by up to 27 over the hop count metric and 37 over Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and Expected Transmission count (ETX) metrics in a mobile wireless sensor network environment. © 2013 Praise Worthy Prize S.r.l. - All rights reserved. date: 2013 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84888102672&partnerID=40&md5=38459ccb9efb7625e19bf197e41bdbbd full_text_status: none publication: International Review on Computers and Software volume: 8 number: 9 pagerange: 2269-2277 refereed: TRUE issn: 18286003 citation: Al-Jemeli, M. and Hussin, F.A.
