Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) play more and more important role in all kinds of applications. Because of its characteristics, energy consumption is an open issue in research field. In LEACH Cluster Head (CH) is selected randomly without any parameter, such as node energy, distance. There exists a probability that energy consumption is unbalanced in WSN, which causes shortening its lifetime. In this paper, we proposed a new LEACH-based protocol, Energy Weight LEACH (EW-LEACH). The main purpose of EW-LEACH is to provide important parameters, node energy, to determine the CH selection strategy. Node energy acts as a weight to alter the probability that a node becomes CH. The results of simulation show that EW-LEACH increases energy efficiency and prolong the network lifetime.

Energy consumption is an open issue in research field of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) protocol is the most additional routing protocol in WSNs. In LEACH, Cluster Head (CH) is selected randomly, not considering any parameter such as node energy, distance, which causes shortening its lifetime while energy consumption is unbalanced in WSNs. In this paper, it proposes a new LEACH-based protocol, energy consumption balance LEACH protocol. Firstly, all nodes are grouped based on their locations, and a CH is elected in every group, which ensures CHs even distribution in the network area. And an important factor selecting CHs, node energy is considered, which further energy consumption in WSNs. The results of simulation show that ECB-LEACH can increase energy efficiency and prolong the network lifetime.

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.

Concerning the large amount of energy consumption during the cluster head selection stage and the unequal harvested energy among nodes in energy-harvesting wireless sensor networks (EH-WSNs), an energy- efficient cluster head selection scheme called EECHS is proposed in this paper. The scheme divides all nodes from one cluster into three types: cluster head (CH), cluster member (CM), and scheduling node (SN). The SN is designed to monitor and store real-time information about the residual energy of all nodes, including CMs and the CH, in the same cluster. In the CH selection stage, the SN specifies a corresponding CM as the new CH according to the monitored results, thereby reducing the energy consumption caused by CH selection. In this way, the task of CH selection is migrated from CHs to SNs and, thus, the CHs can preserve more energy for data forwarding. Moreover, the EECHS adjusts the transmission radius of some nodes dynamically to prevent these nodes from discarding the harvested energy if their batteries are fully charged. A series of experiments were conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed EECHS, and the results demonstrate that EECHS can provide an efficient CH selection scheme for EH-WSNs and is able to use the harvested energy more efficiently than corresponding competitors.

The wireless sensor network is the decentralized type of network which can sense information and pass it to base station. The energy consumption is the major issue of WSN due to small of sensor nodes and far deployment of the network. The clustering is the efficient approach to increase lifetime of the sensor network. In the approach of clustering cluster head are selected for the data aggregation. The fuzzy logic rules are derived based on node energy, distance to base station for the cluster head selection, which increase lifetime of sensor nodes in the existing system. In this research work, cache nodes are deployed in the network which reduce energy consumption of WSN. In the proposed approach cluster head send data to cache nodes and it will forward data to base station. The simulation is performed in MATLAB and proposed technique performs well in terms of number of packets transmitted, number of dead nodes, network lifetime, throughput and remaining energy.

Background and Objective: The functionalities of wireless sensor networks (WSN) are growing in various areas, so to handle the energy consumption of network in an efficient manner is a challenging task. The sensor nodes in the WSN are equipped with limited battery power, so there is a need to utilize the sensor power in an efficient way. The clustering of nodes in the network is one of the ways to handle the limited energy of nodes to enhance the lifetime of the network for its longer working without failure. Methods: The proposed approach is based on forming a cluster of various sensor nodes and then selecting a sensor as cluster head (CH). The heterogeneous sensor nodes are used in the proposed approach in which sensors are provided with different energy levels. The selection of an efficient node as CH can help in enhancing the network lifetime. The threshold function and random function are used for selecting the cluster head among various sensors for selecting the efficient node as CH.

The concept of volunteer node is also introduced with an objective to reduce the energy consumption of the CH to transmit data from source to BS. The role of the volunteer node is to transmit the data successfully from source to destination or BS. Conclusion: The results are observed with respect to the Alive nodes, dead nodes and energy consumption of the network. The outcome of the proposed work proves that it outperforms the traditional mechanisms.

This research was conducted to enhance the energy performance of wireless sensor networks (WSN) and improve the performance of end-to-end delay and packet receiving rate of network operation. In this study, the low-energy data collection routing algorithm and adaptive environment sensing method in WSN were mainly examined. The node centrality, energy surplus, and node temperature were calculated for cluster head selection to reduce the energy consumption of nodes and improve the reliability of network data. The research results have shown that the parameter setting guided by the theoretical analysis makes each node selfishly achieve the maximum expected benefit while the whole network runs reliably, and the energy consumption is reduced by the selfishness of the node. As a result, the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce the network energy consumption and increase the network life cycle of wireless sensor networks. It can be seen that the machine learning methods such as support vector machine are used to model and analyze the state of the sensing node, and to obtain more accurate wireless channel availability judgment based on the historical state data, thereby adaptively adjusting the working duty ratio and reducing the invalidity data sent.
