The past decade has witnessed a fast growth in wireless networks that provide connectivity and information to the end users. Along with this network expansion, the necessity of sufficient bandwidth and efficient quality of service is increasingly in demand. Network expansion greedily contributes a large factor of energy consumption and resulted in high environment footprint. It is recently been reported that Information and Communication technology (ICT) sector is responsible for producing 2% to 3% of total emission of greenhouse gases. Moreover, according to the GreenTouch initiative, the estimated CO2 emissions from mobile, wire-line and LAN communications is about 25% to 31% of total ICT�s global CO2 emission. Thus, it is increasingly necessary to alleviate energy consumption as it is not only becoming scarce and expensive but also causing a dramatic climate change. Green protocols and algorithms are required to reinvent scalable and sustainable network by maximizing energy efficiency and reduce total cost of ownership. Alleviating the energy consumption of network and communication infrastructure by developing power-efficient techniques is a pressing need for researchers in academia and industry. In this talk, I will firstly focus on the importance of sustainable growth of networks and then will present a routing algorithm that extend network lifetime, which is to determine an optimal routing path by favoring the node with the highest Node Quality (NQ), largest Transmit Capacity (TC) and best Degree of Energy Balance (DEB). More precisely, the proposed green routing considers energy efficiency and finds green route towards specified destination. Extensive simulations have been carried out and it shows the superiority of the proposed scheme in wireless sensor networks.
