Abstract :

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are widely used in environmental monitoring, healthcare, and military applications. Reliable data aggregation and routing are essential to ensure accurate and efficient communication among sensor nodes. Conventional routing protocols often suffer from high energy consumption and packet loss due to network dynamics. This work proposes a Reliable Data Aggregation Routing Approach (RDARA) that optimizes energy usage while ensuring data integrity. The approach leverages cluster-based aggregation with intelligent cluster head selection to balance load and extend network lifetime. Simulation results show a significant reduction in data redundancy and communication overhead. The proposed method demonstrates higher packet delivery ratio compared to traditional techniques. It also effectively mitigates node failures and improves overall network reliability. RDARA is suitable for large-scale WSN deployments requiring dependable data transmission. Performance m
