The Stability

As we are moving towards smart homes and smart cities, the need for wireless sensors are increasing continuously. Most of the sensors are powered with batteries, which have limited amount of power. So, in a wireless sensor network, the main motive is to minimize the energy consumption and increase the lifetime of the network. Communication between the sensors and from sensors to sink is an energy consuming process. Here comes, the LEACH protocol, with the concept of clustering, that makes the network energy efficient and gives longer lifetime to the network. This LEACH protocol has many drawbacks. One among them is the uneven distribution of Cluster Heads in the network, in several rounds. This leads to higher consumption of energy by sensor nodes, which in turn reduces the stability period and also the overall lifetime of the network. This problem is solved to majority extent in this research by concept of dividing the sensor field into sub-regions and choosing cluster head from each sub-region. This modification reduces the uneven distribution of Cluster Heads to maximum extent. Modified protocol is simulated in MATLAB and its results show that, the stability period as well as overall lifetime is improved than existing basic LEACH protocol.

Wireless Sensor

The recent advances in sensing and communication technologies such as wireless sensor networks (WSN) have enabled low-priced distributed monitoring systems that are the foundation of smart cities. These advances are also helping to monitor smart cities and making our living environments workable. However, sensor nodes are constrained in energy supply if they have no constant power supply. Moreover, communication links can be easily failed because of unequal node energy depletion. The energy constraints and link failures affect the performance and quality of the sensor network. Therefore, designing a routing protocol that minimizes energy consumption and maximizes the network lifetime should be considered in the design of the routing protocol for WSN. In this paper, we propose an Energy-Efficient Unequal Chain Length Clustering (EEUCLC) protocol which has a suboptimal multihop routing algorithm to reduce the burden on the cluster head and a probability-based cluster head selection algorithm to prolong the network lifetime. Simulation results show that the EEUCLC mechanism enhanced the energy balance and prolonged the network lifetime compared to other related protocols.

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), energy-constrained sensor nodes are always deployed in hazardous and inaccessible environments, making energy management a key problem for network design. The mechanism of RNTA (redundant node transmission agents) lacks an updating mechanism for the redundant nodes, causing an unbalanced energy distribution among sensor nodes. This paper presents an energy-balanced mechanism for hierarchical routing (EBM-HR), in which the residual energy of redundant nodes is quantified and made hierarchic, so that the cluster head can dynamically select the redundant node with the highest residual energy grade as a relay to complete the information transmission to the sink node and achieve an intracluster energy balance. In addition, the network is divided into several layers according to the distances between cluster heads and the sink node. Based on the energy consumption of the cluster heads, the sink node will decide to recluster only in a certain layer so as to achieve an intercluster energy balance. Our approach is evaluated by a simulation comparing the LEACH algorithm to the HEED algorithm. The results demonstrate that the BEM-HR mechanism can significantly boost the performance of a network in terms of network lifetime, data transmission quality, and energy balance.

Ch Selection

Internet of things (IoT) is a very important research area, having many applications such as smart cities, intelligent transportation system, tracing, and smart homes. The underlying technology for IoT are wireless sensor networks (WSN). The selection of cluster head (CH) is significant as a part of the WSN’s optimization in the context of energy consumption. In WSNs, the nodes operate on a very limited energy source, therefore, the routing protocols designed must meet the optimal utilization of energy consumption in such networks. Evolutionary games can be designed to meet this aspect by providing an adequately efficient CH selection mechanism. In such types of mechanisms, the network nodes are considered intelligent and independent to select their own strategies. However, the existing mechanisms do not consider a combination of many possible parameters associated with the smart nodes in WSNs, such as remaining energy, selfishness, hop-level, density, and degree of connectivity. In our work, we designed an evolutionary game-based approach for CH selection, combined with some vital parameters associated with sensor nodes and the entire networks. The nodes are assumed to be smart, therefore, the aspect of being selfish is also addressed in this work. The simulation results indicate that our work performs much better than typical evolutionary game-based approaches.

Main Challenge

Prolonging the network lifetime in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), Clustering has been recognized has one of the significant methods in achieving this, It entails grouping of sensor nodes into clusters and electing cluster heads (CHs) for all the clusters. CH’s accept data from relevant cluster’s nodes and forward the aggregate data to base station. A main challenge in WSNs is the selection of appropriate cluster heads. This work proposes a system that is efficient, scalable and load balanced. The proposed scheme combines two known algorithms namely k-means clustering and genetic algorithms based on the weaknesses identified in the two. The simulated data is obtained through the enhancement of clustering by the cluster head (base station) that helps in locating the nearest node that is important in the data transfer instead of transferring to a node that is not necessary, thereby wasting time and resources. The obtained simulation results indicate that this approach is efficient and last longer in elongating the battery life time than the conventional method by 60%.

Leach Protocol

Wireless sensor network routing protocol is to prolong the survival time of wireless sensor networks by using the sensor nodes energy efficiently. Traditional LEACH protocol is random in the election of the cluster head, if a less energy node is first elected as a cluster head node, then the node might die soon, it will greatly reducing the lifetime of the network. In order to collect data more efficiently and prolong the network life cycle,we need better clustering protocol. Aim at the traditional LEACH protocol have some weakness,this paper improve the protocol based on traditional LEACH protocol, two influence factors which the residual energy and the number of elected cluster head of the nodes had been introduced to make the clustering more ideal. Simulation results show that compared to the traditional Leach algorithm ,the improved LEACH protocol can prolong the network life cycle more effective and reduce the energy consumption of the whole network.

Cluster Heads

A sensor network has many sensor nodes with limited energy. One of the important issues in these networks is the increase of the life time of the network. In this article, a clustering algorithm is introduced for wireless sensor networks that considering the parameters of distance and remaining energy of each node in the process of cluster head selection. The introduced algorithm is able to reduce the amount of consumed energy in the network. In this algorithm, the nodes that have more energy and less distance from the base station more probably will become cluster heads. Also, we use algorithm for finding the shortest path between cluster heads and base station. The results of simulation with the help of Matlab software show that the proposed algorithm increase the life time of the network compared with LEACH algorithm.

In order to prolong the lifetime of wireless sensor networks, improvement of cluster-head selection mechanism based on LEACH protocol is proposed. To make the energy distribution more uniform, we consider the relationship of the density of nodes, residual energy of nodes and distance between nodes and Sink node. It eliminates the defect of energy consumption imbalance in the network caused by random position of cluster-heads and the problem of premature death of nodes caused by low energy nodes becoming cluster-heads. Simulation results show that compared with LEACH algorithm, the improved algorithm extend the network lifetime.

Presently, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is quickest developing technology which broadly embracing for different application services including; climate observing, traffic expectation, reconnaissance, research and scholastic fields and so on. As the sensor nodes are haphazardly conveyed in remote condition, security measurements turns out to be most encouraging test where correspondence wirelesses systems confronting today. The Stable Election Protocol (SEP) is an enhanced algorithm of Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) with low energy in heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) for improving the life cycle. Be that as it may, the unequal energy circulation of cluster heads and nodes would diminish the lifetime. From one perspective, adding node vitality to cluster head selection to decrease the energy utilization of cluster heads; on the contrary, decline the energy utilization of nodes in cluster through not directly transmitted by interlude nodes. SEP, a protocol of heterogeneous-aware to drag out the time interim before the passing of the first node (we allude to as steady period), which is essential for some applications where the input from the sensor arrange must be solid. SEP depends on weighted election decision probabilities of every node to turn into cluster head as indicated by the rest of the energy in every node. The outcomes show that the E-SEP protocol functions admirably in adjusting the vitality utilization for improving the lifetime looking at LEACH and SEP protocol with enhanced SEP along with proposed E-SEP algorithm using MATLAB.

The uttermost requirement of the wireless sensor network is prolonged lifetime. Unequal energy degeneration in clustered sensor nodes lead to the premature death of sensor nodes resulting in a lessened lifetime. Most of the proposed protocols primarily choose cluster head on the basis of a random number, which is somewhat discriminating as some nodes which are eligible candidates for cluster head role may be skipped because of this randomness. To rule out this issue, we propose a deterministic novel energy efficient fuzzy logic based clustering protocol (NEEF) which considers primary and secondary factors in fuzzy logic system while selecting cluster heads. After selection of cluster heads, non-cluster head nodes use fuzzy logic for prudent selection of their cluster head for cluster formation. NEEF is simulated and compared with two recent state of the art protocols, namely SCHFTL and DFCR under two scenarios. Simulation results unveil better performance by balancing the load and improvement in terms of stability period, packets forwarded to the base station, improved average energy and extended lifetime.

The Stability

Abstract Stability of the Wireless Sensor Network(WSN) is the most critical factor in real-time and data-sensitive applications like military and surveillance systems. Many energy optimization techniques and algorithms have been proposed to extend the stability of a wireless sensor network. Clustering is a well regarded method in the research communities among them. Hence, this paper presents hybrid hierarchical artificial intelligence based clustering techniques, named FLAG and I-FLAG. The first phase of these algorithms use game theoretic technique to elect suitable cluster heads(CHs) and later phase of the algorithms use fuzzy inference system to select appropriate super cluster heads(SCHs) among CHs. The I-FLAG is an improved version of FLAG where additional parameters like energy and distance are considered to elect CHs. Simulations are performed to check superiority of the proposed algorithms over the existing protocols like LEACH, CHEF, and CROSS. Simulation results show that the average stability period of WSN is better in FLAG and I-FLAG compared to other protocols, and so is the throughput of WSN during the stability period.
