Load Balanced Clustering protocol for lifetime enhancement of WSN

Abstract

WSN have large numbers of spatially distributed and dedicated sensing devices, which are used for sensing the physical condition of the environment in which they are deployed. Todays time, WSN have lots of areas for research and it plays important role like tracking of area, health-scanning, earthquake-sensing and so on. WSN sets supplementary life as well as nodes time-period in sensor nodes. Network life cycle is dependent on many factors like their topology type, residual energy after some rounds, sensor-node distance to sink node etc. There are already lots of work done on this concept. Clustering is one of the most important approach to make efficient communication. In this paper, we used clustering approach that uses the minimum energy consumption by choosing the Clusters-Heads (CHs) using five parameters: delay, standard deviation of Eres, average distance of CHs, standard deviation of average life time of cluster head and max distance to Base Station (BS). Results verify that our proposed algorithm will prolong the lifetime of network over LEACH and base algorithm.
