Abstract

A wireless sensor network is a network of nodes spread across the application field with sensors attached to them, helping them sense the environmental parameters and transmit the data to the base station for further computation. Because of low battery power of sensor nodes, energy efficient routing in the sensor nodes is very important for a good network lifetime and throughput. Clustering of nodes by formation of groups is an effective routing technique which involves transmission of data from the nodes to the head of the cluster and then the transmission of the accumulated data from that cluster head to the base station. In this paper, a new clustering based routing protocol is proposed which shows significant improvement in the network lifetime, stability of network, throughput of the network and the average energy of the network as compared to the conventional clustering based routing algorithms. The nodes in the network field have been deployed according to the gauss function instead of a random distribution. Also, the base station has been made mobile and it’s movement is according to the sigmoid function. Initial energy and current energy of nodes along with average energy of network have been taken into consideration in several computations to modify the conventional clustering routing algorithm. This proposed protocol i.e. Gauss-sigmoid based clustering routing (GSCR) protocol is compared with SEP, LEACH and DEEC protocols for performance evaluation and for exhibiting its improvement in the performance parameters. Significant improvement is exhibited in terms of network lifetime, throughput, stability period and the average energy of the network.
