This paper presents a novel energy-efficient cooperative protocol designed for wireless sensor networks, addressing the challenges posed by limited energy resources. The proposed method utilizes cooperative transmission through a virtual antenna array to enhance diversity gain while maintaining protocol robustness. We detail two operational phases: routing (AODV) and recruiting-transmitting. The protocol's energy consumption is analyzed, ensuring a consistent failure probability for meaningful comparisons. Simulation results demonstrate the efficacy of the protocol in optimizing energy usage without sacrificing reliability.

Introduction • Wireless sensor networks: limited energy resources • Cooperative transmission: • Virtual antenna array • Diversity gain • Energy efficient
Cooperative Protocol - CwR • Cluster head, sending cluster, receiving cluster • Path width • Two phases: routing (AODV), recruiting-and-transmitting
Assumptions • Sending nodes are synchronized • Receiving power is the sum of all the signal powers coming from all the senders
Protocol Robustness (1) • Denote the transmission pattern of nodes in a sending cluster by a binary representation bm-1 … b1 b0 according to which node j transmits if bj = 1 and does not transmit if bj = 0. • Similarly, denote the reception status of nodes in a receiving cluster by a binary representation bm-1 … b1 b0 according to which node j correctly receives the packet if bj = 1 and receives the packet in error if bj = 0.
Other Protocols • Disjoint-paths: • One-Path
Energy Consumption • To make the comparison of energy consumption of any two schemes meaningful, the failure probability needs to be kept equal for the compared schemes. • Thus, the needed transmission power for each case can be calculated according to the analysis of robustness.
Conclusions • Propose an energy-efficient cooperative protocol • Analyze the robustness and energy consumption of the protocol
