Appropriate Cluster Head Determination Strategy for extending the Wireless Sensor Network’s (WSN’s) Lifetime

Abstract

WSN is made with immense number of sensor’s which are deployed densely over an unattended area is responsible for taking environmental measurements, process the data and finally transmit the sensed data over a wireless channel to the sink that makes decisions based on these sensor’s readings. It is well known that the energy consumed for transferring one bit of data from individual sensor to sink is equivalent to a large number of arithmetic operations to be performed in a sensor processor. Thus, node clustering have been applied to hierarchical sensor networks with heterogeneity to augment the network existence whereas diminishing the necessary energy consumption. For that reason, Seven Level Balanced Energy Efficient Network Integrated Super Heterogeneous (SL-BEENISH) algorithm was designed and implemented. Simulation outcomes clearly demonstrated that SL-BEENISH attain better in comparison with TDEEC, BEENISH and IBEENISH with more stability period and network duration.
