چکیده

In Wireless Sensor Networks life time of the network depends on the energy of the nodes, where energy consumption is mostly used for data transmission rather than sensing and processing. Also, in the WSN, the choice of routing protocol plays an important role in utilizing the energy of nodes efficiently. In this paper, a new novel routing protocol is proposed, which combines the two major categories of hierarchical protocols namely cluster based approach and chain based approach. This proposed algorithm is simulated for weather monitoring application and the results are studied. A comparison of the proposed algorithm with the existing protocols like LEACH, PEGASIS, LEACH-C and CHIRON in the stated application area shows that the proposed algorithm gives better performance in terms of energy utilization, network connectivity and network lifetime.

A Chain-Based Routing Protocol to Maximize the Lifetime of Wireless Sensor Networks

Energy conservation is a key issue in the design of systems based on wireless sensor networks. Clustering routing protocols have been developed in order to reduce the network traffic toward the sink and therefore prolong the network lifetime. An alternative of clustering is to build chains instead of clusters. In this context, we propose a routing protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). It...
