Organized Selection Cluster Head on Fuzzy Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy Protocol in Three-Dimensional Wireless Sensor Networks
: In this paper, we propose an enhancement approach to reduce the energy consumption, extend the network lifetime and improve the performance of protocol Fuzzy Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy Algorithm (Fuzzy LEACH). This improvement in order to augment the energy balancing in clusters among all sensor nodes and to minimize the energy dissipation during network communications. The proposed method is based on a cluster head selection method. Moreover, an enhanced organization of this selection has been implemented. Therefore, the development approach indicates a progress in terms of network lifetime, energy consumption and number of packets transferred to BS compared to Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy Algorithm (LEACH) and other related extended spaces protocols. Mathematical analysis and MATLAB 2013a simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The new approach reduce the energy consumption of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) about 0.99% to 5.64%, prolongs the network life cycle by 42% and increases the number of packets sent by 86% to 732%.
