A geodesic deployment and radial shaped clustering (RSC) algorithm with statistical aggregation in sensor networks

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) comprise a large number of connected tiny or small sensor devices to sense physical phenomenon. In WSN, prolonging the network's lifetime is a biggest challenge due to absence of power harvesting facility and irreplaceable batteries of the sensor devices. Clustering is one of the widely accepted and standard technique to solve the energy issues faced in WSN. In addition to clustering, the shape of the deployment area also plays the major role especially for large scale sensor deployment. This paper proposes a Radial Shaped Clustering (RSC) algorithm with angular inclination routing. The radial shaped deployed area is divided into virtual concentric layers and each layer is further divided into a set of sectors called clusters. Angular routing is applied to achieve multi-hop routing of packets towards the Sink node. In comparison to Fan Shaped Clustering (FSC), RSC performs better in terms of residual energy and packet received ratio.

“…Here, "p CH " represents the probability of a node becoming a CH, and "n" denotes the total number of sensor nodes in the WSN. The "round()" function is utilized to round the result of the multiplication to the nearest integer, ensuring the correct count of angular regions [37], [38]. After determining "N θ ", the next step involves creating an angle vector "θ" to partition the WSN area into multiple angular regions.…”

“…The designed scheme minimizes the time complexity, but the delay was not reduced. An authentication-based protocol (A-MAC) was developed in [25] for vehicular communication. The protocol reduces the execution time of communication but the delay as well packet loss ratio was not minimized.…”
