Analytical Study of SEP & M-SEP in Wireless Sensor Network with Heterogeneous Platform

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are growing in every aspects ranging from measuring temperature, humidity, rainfall to the battle field. In this type of application there are large numbers of sensors that has not been used and some are work independently. This paper put forward an analytical study of Stable Election Protocol and Modified Stable Election Protocol for heterogeneous wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The purpose of this comparative study is to analyze and identify the suitable platform for more stable and energy efficient heterogeneous WSNs platform. The study is supported by multiple simulations in a random distribution environment with different parameters like number of dead nodes, alive nodes, amount of data transmitted to the destination etc. from the simulation and result analysis we can say M-SEP is more stable and effective than SEP as well as M-SEP provides a longer stability period on an average of 9% extra than SEP.
