Efficient Cluster Head Selection Scheme for Wireless Sensor Network Using Deterministic Protocol

Abstract

The Wireless Sensor Networks are emerging Technology of 21st Century and It is estimated that by the coming years more and more wireless sensors will be deployed for applications as diverse as environmental monitoring, agricultural monitoring, machine health monitoring, surveillance, and medical monitoring.These networks, which connect the physical world with the digital world, provide us with a richer understanding of our environment and with the ability to more accurately control our surroundings.However, there are many challenges that must be addressed before the full potential of these networks are realized.In this paper we introduced improved DEC (I-DEC) protocol which is capable of improving stability as well as lifetime of the WSN network over other existing protocols.An overview of existing protocols with their advantages, limitations and existing improvements is also presented in this paper.The results obtained from proposed DEC shows better performance with respect to energy consumption over existing protocols.
