In this paper, we propose an Energy Harvesting aware Entropy-based Routing protocol, called EHER, in mobile ad-hoc wireless sensor networks. The main features and contributions of this paper are as follows. First, we use physical layer information of RF-energy harvesting when routes are selected in network layer. Second, we use energy aware entropy based mesh route selection strategy adaptively to efficiently support route stability. Third, we use a direction-guided line using location information to support energy saving for the establishment of routing routes in the given networks. The performance evaluation using OPNET shows that the proposed routing protocol can efficiently support PDR, average and minimum remaining energy of nodes, and the lifetime of routes and networks, respectively.
