Power Efficient Advanced Node Clustering Hierarchical Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

摘要

In this paper, a new power efficient advanced node clustering hierarchical (PEANCH) algorithm for wireless sensor networks is developed and analyzed. In this algorithm we introduce the concept of advanced nodes and normal nodes, where the advanced nodes are given with double the initial energy as of the normal nodes. Advanced nodes are acting as cluster heads and assigned with fixed coordinates, whereas the normal nodes are deployed randomly. Parameters such as first node death, last node death, total network lifetime, energy consumption, latency and throughput are considered for the analysis. It is observed that the network life time is 1.33 times more efficient than widely accepted and popular protocol such as low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH).
