Wireless sensor network consists of large number of tiny sensor nodes which are usually deployed in a harsh environment. Self configuration and infrastructure less are the two fundamental properties of sensor networks. Sensor nodes are highly energy constrained devices because they are battery operated devices and due to harsh environment deployment it is impossible to change or recharge their ...

Clustering is applied in wireless sensor networks for increasing energy efficiency. Clustering methods in wireless sensor networks are different from those in traditional data mining systems. This paper proposes a novel clustering algorithm based on Minimal Spanning Tree (MST) and Maximum Energy resource on sensors named MSTME. Also, specified constrains of clustering in wireless sensor network...

The energy consumption is a primary consideration factor in the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). To balance the energy consumption of each node and enhance the lifetime of the network, in this paper, a fuzzy logic approach to cluster-head election which is called FLCHE is proposed. This algorithm fully considers the residual energy of the node, the energy consumption rate, and the distribution d...

Wireless sensor network is defined as wireless network of sensor nodes in which Routing technique is one of the most challenging issues. One of the major issues in WSNs is the limited battery power of the network sensor nodes. The battery power plays an important role in increasing the lifetime of the nodes. In WSN, routing among various routing technique, energy consumption is one of the most ...

Objectives: To develop an energy efficient routing protocol using SA-LEACH to Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Methods: The Simulated Annealing (SA) and LEACH algorithms are used optimize the maximize active period of network nodes. Here, initially selection cluster head will be chosen by protocol; however, it is further investigated SA algorithm get better neighboring node (if exist) when compa...

This paper presents a uniform clustering approach which aims to cover entire field with identical clusters scattered over the field. The Cluster head is elected using the LEACH protocol for every cluster locally. Both LEACH and I-LEACH (Identical clustering LEACH) were compared through extensive simulations using NS2 simulator which shows that I-LEACH performs better than LEACH protocol. I-LEAC...

Wireless sensor network applications have gained the attention of researchers in the last few years due to the rapid growth of wireless technology. In this paper, wireless sensor network is deployed and secondly the sensor nodes are communicated among themselves so as to find out the shortest path. Then Low Energy Aware Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) is compared with proposed algorithm. This pape...
