Abstract Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has emerged as an important supplement to the modern wireless communication systems due to its wide range of applications. The recent researches are facing the various challenges of the sensor network more gracefully. However, energy efficiency has still remained a matter of concern for the researches. Meeting the countless security needs, timely data delivery and taking a quick action, efficient route selection and multi-path routing etc. can only be achieved at the cost of energy. Hierarchical routing is more useful in this regard. The proposed algorithm Energy Aware Cluster Based Routing Scheme (EACBRS) aims at conserving energy with the help of hierarchical routing by calculating the optimum number of cluster heads for the network, selecting energy-efficient route to the sink and by offering congestion control. Simulation results prove that EACBRS performs better than existing hierarchical routing algorithms like Distributed Energy-Efficient Clustering (DEEC) algorithm for heterogeneous wireless sensor networks and Energy Efficient Heterogeneous Clustered scheme for Wireless Sensor Network (EEHC).

A wireless sensor network is a collection of tiny nodes, which are deployed in the given environment to sense the events. The sensed events are transmitted to the base sensor through multi hop communication for the energy efficient purpose. Routing is an very important activity for WSN where source node transmits the information to destination node using multi hop communication. Due to the inherent characteristics of WSN, there exist frequent topology changes in WSN. Most of the existing routing protocols follow only static routing. In order to overcome the issues of existing system, a novel secure dynamic routing protocol is proposed, where the optimal route can be established even in case of topology change in WSN. The proposed protocol is implemented in NS3 simulation. This simulation results justifies that the proposed protocol will improve the energy consumption using routers and increases packet delivery ratio, throughput and reduces delay.
