Nowadays, the primary concern of geographic routing protocol lies in the fact of minimisation of energy dissipation during the transfer of each packet in a network. This paper proposes an energy-efficient real-time algorithm in sensor networks, i.e., Route deviation Algorithm. Route deviation algorithm combines the characteristics of both distance-based criteria and direction or angle based criteria. In this paper, we have shown a comparison amongst COMPASS algorithm, NFP, MER and Route deviation algorithm. The simulation model includes numerous parameters, namely, threshold energy, number of sensors, spread of the map, position of sensors and transmission time. The results obtained through the simulation model supports the fact that the Route deviation algorithm accomplishes the task of saving energy and adds to the life of the networks.
