Improved Energy Aware Cluster based Data Routing Scheme for WSN
Abstract: Wireless sensor
network (WSN) consists of several tiny devices that are dispersed randomly for gathering
network field. Clustering mechanism divides the WSN into different sub-regions
called clusters. Individual cluster is consisting of cluster head (CH) and
member nodes. The main research challenges behind clustering mechanism are to optimize
network overheads with efficient data delivery. Sensor nodes are operated by
batteries and practically it is not feasible to replace them during sensing the
environment so energy should be effectively utilized among sensors for
improving overall network performance. Thisresearch paper presents an improved
energy aware cluster based data routing (i-ECBR) scheme, bydividing the network
regions into uniform sized square partitions and localized CH election
mechanism. In addition, consistent end-to-end data routing is performed for
improving data dissemination. Simulation results illustrate that our proposed
scheme outperforms than existing work in terms of different performance
metrics.
