PEGASIS, a chain-based protocol, forms chains from sensor nodes so that each node transmits and receives from a neighbor. In this way, only one node (known as a HEAD) is selected from that chain to transmit to the sink. Although PEGASIS is able to balance the workload among all of the nodes by selecting the HEAD node in turn, a considerable amount of energy may be wasted when nodes which are far away...
Wireless sensor networks are composed of cheap sensor nodes with limited energy resources. These networks require robust wireless communication protocols that are energy efficient in order to prolong the lifetime of the entire network. This paper studies the routing protocols and analyzes the performance of LEACH (low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy) in-depth. It is found that the cluster heads...
The optimal number of cluster heads is an important parameter of wireless sensor network performance. Network nodes will consume more energy if the number of cluster heads is too much or too little. This paper focuses on novel calculation method for optimal number of cluster heads. Base on the analysis of LEACH energy dissipation model, novel calculation method is derived from the total energy dissipation...
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is constructed by many energy-constrained nodes. Leach is a cluster based and energy-efficient routing protocol for WSN. In the clusters of Leach, single-hop transmissions are adopted. In this paper, a routing scheme combining multi-hop transmissions and single-hop transmissions in the clusters is proposed. The energy consumption of the single-hop transmissions as well...
Mobility of sensor nodes posed new challenges particularly in energy consumption and demands researchers' attention. Some real applications impose combined environments of fixed and mobile sensor nodes in the same network, while others demand a complete mobile sensors environment. Packet loss that occurs due to mobility of the sensor nodes is one of main challenges in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)...
Wireless sensor networks have received excessive attention in now a days. Research in all field in wireless sensor network (WSN) till now has assumed that sensors in network is homogeneous, means that all the nodes are same, especially for routing protocols that has used clustering like LEACH, LEACHC, and PEGASIS etc. But in the clustering algorithm where some nodes have to work as cluster heads,...
In sensor networks, clustering protocol such as LEACH is an efficient method to increase whole networks lifetime. However, this protocol result in high energy consumption at the cluster head node. Hence, this protocol must changes the cluster formation and cluster head node in each round to prolong the network lifetime. But this method also causes a high amount of energy consumption during the set-up...
