Performance Analysis of Energy Efficient Routing Protocol for Homogeneous Wireless Sensor Network

Base Station And Zone Based Performance Evaluation Of Optimal Clustering In Wireless Sensor Network

“…In LEACH, the cluster head (CH) nodes compress data arriving from nodes that belong to the respective cluster, and send an aggregated packet to the base station. A predetermined fraction of nodes, p, elect themselves as CHs in the following manner Another cluster selection zone based scheme Zone Based Clustering Algorithm (ZBCA) [2,4] involves dividing the area into rectangle grids called zones. In this algorithm, communication between the sensor nodes for the CH selection is reduced, so that the energy consumption for CH selection can be reduced.…”

“…We define the optimal cluster as the one sized such that routing data from the cluster member to cluster head and subsequently to base stations incurs the minimal communication overhead. We confronted this question of optimal clusters for zone based clustering algorithm ZBCA [2], a low energy, low overhead clustering protocol that divided the area into zone and create a cluster head per zone. While evaluating the communication overhead of various cluster sizes, we observed that the optimal cluster size for a given network is complex, depending on a range of parameters.…”
