Energy Efficient Cluster Based Routing Protocol for wireless sensor networks

Abstract

This paper elucidates an Energy Efficient Cluster Based Routing Protocol (EECBRP) for wireless sensor networks. It accomplishes ameliorate performance by means of network lifetime and energy efficiency. It is used to pile up data from scattered sensor nodes and transmit the same to a base station. EEBCRP is designed to shore up the remote monitoring in sensor networks, periodically. Major issues here are, cluster head (CH) selection, forming cluster scheme and a routing algorithm for the data transmission between cluster heads and the base station. The cluster formation is carried out by exchanging messages between member nodes and the cluster head. The key function of the cluster head is rotated at predefined interval to assure even distribution of energy among the sensor nodes. The routing is based on the flawless hauling range data transmission between base station and cluster heads using multi-hop. Its performance is figured out by comparing with LEACH routing protocol using NS2. It ensures 20% more life time than LEACH protocol.
