The energy conservation and consumption in wireless sensor networks based on energy efficiency clustering routing protocol

Abstract

Wireless sensor network consists of irreplaceable sensor nodes which are equipped with limited energy resources. Minimizing energy consumption is one of the main problem in wireless sensor networks. This paper proposes an energy conservation and consumption in wireless sensor networks based on clustering routing protocol. The protocol adopts clustering technology to solve the hot spots problem and proposes cluster head priority mechanism to reduce the energy consumption of head nodes in the clusters partition. Firstly, a new network structure model using the cluster members and cluster head and combines existing energy consumption model to construct a new method that determine the optimal for total energy conservation. Finally, we simulated this protocol both with 100 nodes network capability. Simulation results prove that our proposed protocol can effectively improve better performance than LEACH in terms of first node dead, network lifetime, and throughput.
