In wireless sensor network energy consumption is the
recent research trend. Sleep scheduling and clustering of nodes in
mobile environment are two different approaches adopted to
elongate the life of network. In this paper Mobility Aware
Clustering routing algorithm (MACRON) is proposed by
integrating two challenging approaches. In the sleep scheduling
approach, the node takes the decision for their states
independently in decentralized manner. Using this reward based
approach; the node decides its own current state (sleep, wake, idle)
and it also predict the state of neighbors without communicating
with neighbors. The performance improvement of sleep
scheduling algorithm is significant but, to enhance performance it
should be integrated with clustering approaches. To support the
mobility in wireless sensor network various MAC protocol has
been proposed, but they consume huge energy for data
transmission. The proposed MACRON algorithm works efficiently
in both mobile and stationary network. The performance of
proposed algorithm gives decent outcome in varying size of nodes
ranging from 10 to 40 in ns-2.
