In the WSN-assisted IoT, energy efficient routing algorithms are required to maintain a long network lifetime. In this paper, a DS evidence theory-based energy balanced routing algorithm for network lifetime enhancement (EBRA-NLE) in WSN-assisted IOT is proposed. From the perspective of energy balance and minimization of routing path energy consumption, three attribute indexes are established to evaluate the forward neighboring nodes. Then a route selection method based on DS evidence theory is developed to comprehensively evaluate the nodes and select the optimal next hop. In order to avoid missing the ideal solution because of the excessive difference between the index values, the sine function is used to adjust this difference. The simulation results show that the proposed EBRA-NLE has certain advantages in prolonging network lifetime and balancing energy between nodes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/a13060152","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,24]],"date-time":"2020-06-24T08:54:50Z","timestamp":1592988890000},"page":"152","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["DS Evidence Theory-Based Energy Balanced Routing Algorithm for Network Lifetime Enhancement in WSN-Assisted IOT"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Liangrui","family":"Tang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Alternate Electrical Power System with Renewable Energy Sources, North China, Electric Power University, Beijing 102206, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6217-3092","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhilin","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Alternate Electrical Power System with Renewable Energy Sources, North China, Electric Power University, Beijing 102206, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"949","article-title":"The Internet of Things","volume":"297","author":"Floerkemeier","year":"2017","journal-title":"Electron World"},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"12","article-title":"A study on threads detection and tracking systems for military applications using wsns","volume":"40","author":"Alhmiedat","year":"2012","journal-title":"Int.
