A Cluster Based Energy Efficient Location R outing Protocol in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

One of the key issue that needs to be addressed in the
\nwireless sensor network field is how to create a most efficient energy
\nsystem. This is a crucial element because the wireless sensor network
\nis a network made up of small batteries powered devices with a limited
\namount of energy resources within it. The purpose of the routing
\nprotocol is how to utilize energy efficiently and to prolong network
\nlifetime. The conventional clustering method has a unique potential to
\nbe an important element for energy conserving sensor network. To
\naddress this problem in this paper, we present A Cluster Based Energy
\nEfficient Location Routing Protocol (CELRP) in Wireless Sensor
\nNetworks. This routing adopted hierarchical structure method, multi
\nhop and location-based node in the field area of the sensor node. The
\nprocesses of the routing involves the clustering of nodes and the
\nselection of a Cluster Head (CH) node in each cluster which will be the
\nmessenger that sends all the information to the Cluster Head Leader.
\nThis Cluster Head Leader will then finally send the aggregated data to
\nthe Base Station (BS). To prove the efficiency of energy in CELRP
\nnetwork, we have compared it to the BCDCP and GPRS in the
\nsimulation conducted. BCDCP and GPRS are both routing protocols
\nthat work well in a small-scale network however not so much in a
\nlarger scale network since it uses a lot of energy for long distance
\nwireless communication. The Simulation results have proved energy
\nefficiency in CELRP, its’ ability to reduce energy dissipation and
\nprolong network lifetime that is superior compared to the BCDCP and
\nGPRS.
