<p class="Abstracttext"><span>Wireless sensor network will be the most dominating field in future era. There are certain issues which wireless sensor network suffers from. The main concern with wireless sensor network is limited energy which directly impact on network lifetime. In this paper we modify the cluster selection procedure of MODLEACH. MODLEACH protocol use threshold value for selecting cluster head. Once a cluster head is selected, it retains its position until it bypasses the threshold limit. In Basic LEACH, it does not use any threshold value but it randomly selects cluster head from the available nodes. We combine the probabilistic nature of LEACH to select the cluster head and threshold base selection of cluster head of MODLEACH. We also apply proposed modification in EAMMH protocol. Our main focus is on the enhancement of network lifetime, and we got significant improvement in network lifetime.</span></p>

<span lang="EN-US">Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a distributed wireless connection that consists many wireless sensor devices. It is used to get information from the surrounding activities or the environment and send the details to the user for future work. Due to its advantages, WSN has been widely used to help people to collect, monitor and analyse data. However, the biggest limitation of WSN is about the network lifetime. Usually WSN has a small energy capacity for operation, and after the energy was used up below the threshold value, it will then be declared as a dead node. When this happens, the sensor node cannot receive and send the data until the energy is renewed. To reduce WSN energy consumption, the process of selecting a path to the destination is very important. Currently, the data transmission from sensor nodes to the cluster head uses a single hop which consumes more energy; thus, in this paper the enhancement of previous algorithm, which is MAP, the data transmission will use several paths to reach the cluster head. The best path uses a small amount of energy and will take a short time for packet delivery. The element of Shortest Path First (SPF) Algorithm that is used in a routing protocol will be implemented. It will determine the path based on a cost, in which the decision will be made depending on the lowest cost between several connected paths. By using the MATLAB simulation tool, the performance of SPF algorithm and conventional method will be evaluated. The expected result of SPF implementation will increase the energy consumption in order to prolong the network lifetime for WSN.</span>

Background: Wireless sensor networks are considered as one of the 21st century's most important technologies. Sensors in wireless sensor networks usually have limited and sometimes non-rechargeable batteries, which they are supposed to be preserved for months or even years. That's why the energy consumption in these networks is of a great importance. Objective: One way to improve energy consumption in a wireless sensor network is to use clustering. In clustered networks, one node is known as the cluster head and other nodes as normal members, which normal nodes send the collected data to the cluster head, and the cluster head sends the information to the base station either by a single step or by multiple steps. Method: Using clustering simplifies resource management and increases scalability, reliability, and the network lifetime. Although the cluster formation involves a time- overhead and how to choose the cluster head is another problem, but its advantages are more than its disadvantages. : The primary aim of this study is to offer a solution to reduce energy consumption in the sensor network. In this study, during the selection of cluster heads, Honeybee Algorithm is used and also for routing, Harmonic Search Algorithm is used. In this paper, the simulation is performed by using MATLAB software and the proposed method is compared with the Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) and the multi-objective fuzzy clustering algorithm (MOFCA). Result and Conclusion: By simulations of this study, we conclude that this research has remarkably increased the network lifetime with respect to EECS, LEACH, and MOFCA algorithms. In view of the energy constraints of the wireless sensor network and the non-rechargeable batteries in most cases, providing such solutions and using metaheuristic algorithms can result in a significant reduction in energy consumption and, consequently, increase in the network lifetime.

Life time of sensor network is very crucial and hot topic of research in wireless sensor network (WSN) from past to future. It is crucial due to system recharging and replacing the sensors are difficult and costly affair. Clustering provides some solution to extend the network lifetime. Existing clustering algorithms, such as LEACH and other heterogeneous routing protocol, can significantly minimize the power consumption on each sensor and prolong the network lifetime but not consideration of coverage network area. Balanced Energy Efficient Multi-hop (BEEM) algorithm has implemented to simulated WSN network and the selection of the cluster head on the basis of firefly (FF) optimization algorithm. Performance of the proposed hybrid Algorithm is well suited in terms of energy consumptions, stability period, network lifetime, throughput, Alive & Dead Nodes & other parameters. Proposed algorithm has showed improved result in energy consumption with firefly-BEEM over the existing BEEM.

Due to the resource constraint, in wireless sensor network, the node processing ability, wireless bandwidth and battery capacity and other resources are scarcer. For improving the energy efficient and extend the lifetime of the network, this paper proposes a novel algorithm with the distributed and energy-efficient for collecting and aggregating data of wireless sensor network. In the proposed protocol, nodes can autonomously compete for the cluster head based on its own residual energy and the signal strength of its neighbouring nodes. To reduce the energy overhead of cluster head nodes, with a multi-hop way among cluster heads, the collected data from cluster heads is sent to a designated cluster head so as to further send these data to a base station. For improving the performance of the proposed protocol, a new cluster coverage method is proposed to fit the proposed protocol so that when the node density increases, network lifetime can be increased linearly as the number of nodes is increased. Simulations experiments show that network lifetime adopting the proposed protocol is sharply increased. And, the proposed protocol makes all the nodes die (network lifetime is defined as the death of last one node) in the last 40 rounds so that networks adopting the proposed protocol have higher reliability than networks adopting compared protocols.

Wireless sensor based communication is everlasting growing sector within the industry of communication. In WSN improving the life expectancy of the network depends on the energy dissipation of senor devices. Diminishing the energy dissipation of sensor device will enhance the lifetime and device failure which helps in better availability and coverage area of sensor network.  One of the dynamic research fields in wireless sensor network is that of coverage. Coverage can be defined as how well each point of interest is monitored by sensor network. In this paper, we investigate the cluster head selection issue, particularly focusing on applications where the upkeep of full network coverage is the fundamental prerequisite. Coverage maintenance for extended period is a pivotal issue in wireless sensor network because of the constrained inbuilt battery in sensors. Coverage maintenance may be prolonged by utilizing the network energy efficiently, by keeping an adequate number of sensors in sensor covers. The clustering algorithm is a solution to reduce energy consumption which can be helpful to the scalability and network lifetime. Assuming serious energy rebalancing with additional clustering algorithm, a Genetic algorithm (GA) based clustering algorithm which evaluates the fitness function by considering the two major parameters distance and energy has been proposed in this paper. Simulation result shows that the proposed solution finds the optimal cluster heads and has prolonged network lifetime and maximum coverage.  


Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a combination of various small size processing units called sensors. Sensors are deployed over a region to monitor the environment and other happenings. Sensors sense the environmental situations and communicate the sensor data to nearby nodes or base stations. Sensor’s energy keeps on depleting due to their multiple functionalities like sensing, aggregating of received data and communication with neighbor nodes. Energy constraint is one of the vital challenges for sensor nodes as they are majorly operational in unreachable locations with non-replaceable power resources. Various techniques have been implemented to overcome the challenge of limited power resources. Clustering is one of the techniques that facilitate to prolong the network lifetime through effective utilization of energy resources. Numerous clustering protocols have been implemented based on various parameters. Mutual Exclusive Distributive Clustering (MEDC) is one of the distributed clustering protocols that elect the cluster head based on residual energy. Selected cluster head performs the dual functionality i.e. combining the collected data and sending the same to the base station. This paper present the proposed algorithm which employed relay nodes in MEDC to distribute the load of cluster head and the distribution would lead to further enhance the network lifetime of WSN.
