EEICCP—Energy Efficient Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

In this paper, an energy efficient inter cluster coordination protocol developed for the wireless sensor networks has been proposed. By controlling the topology, longevity and the scalability of the network can be increased. Clustering sensor node is an effective topology for the energy constrained networks. So cluster based algorithm has been developed in which different levels of clusters are considered on the basis of received signal strength to recognize the distance of the clusters from the BS (base station) and to determine the number of cluster coordinators to make routes for the CHs to transmit the data. Based on the investigation of existing protocols in which cluster heads send data directly to the base station, it is found that direct transmission by the CHs is not an optimal solution and dissipates a lot of energy, so in this paper a novel EEICCP (Energy efficient inter cluster coordination) protocol has been proposed which evenly distributes the energy load among the sensor nodes and use the multi hop approach for the CHs. Analytical model of new protocol is projected and the algorithm is implemented in MATLAB. Moreover, EEICCP has shown remarkable improvement over already existing LEACH and HCR protocols in terms of reliability and stability. Our work has also been validated through the simulation results.

Communication Void Free Routing Protocol in Wireless Sensor Network

“…Each cluster head executes the cluster member selection algorithm independently. Hence the increase in the number of cluster heads increases energy consumption but it is less than the energy consumption in [12] as observed from Fig. 6.…”

“…As per the simulation results the proposed distributed clustering algorithm has less execution time than [11] and has less energy consumption than [12]. The equal number of member nodes per cluster causes identical energy consumption of all the cluster heads which helps to improve route stability.…”

An Energy Saving Algorithm to Prolong the Lifetime of Wireless Sensor Network

“…Shalli Rani et.al has proposed Energy Efficient inter cluster coordination Protocol [11] for the wireless sensor networks, It is a cluster based algorithm in which different levels of clusters are considered on the basis of received signal strength to recognize the distance of the clusters from the BS (base station) and to determine the number of cluster coordinators to make routes for the CHs to transmit the data. The protocol depends upon the fact that some cluster head sends data directly to the base station (Single hop) and the some send by multi hop transmission, but energy consumption in conventional protocols increases due to multi path fading channel which affects the network life time.…”

Layered Clustering Routing Protocol with Overlapping Cluster Heads in WSN

“…For that reason, various routing protocols are defined using different routing methods and clustering can also be viewed as one of the promising technique for lowering energy consumption. In this paper, a new improved multi-hop protocol named, Layered Clustering Routing Protocol with Overlapping Cluster Heads (LCRPOCH) is introduced for minimizing the energy consumption and the simulation is done showing the performance analysis compared to the earlier EEICCP protocol [4]. The remaining paper is structured as section II discuss the related work section III defines the proposed methodology section IV discusses the simulation and results using MATLAB and section V concludes the paper with future work.…”
