Reducing the Energy Consumption in Wirelsess Sensor Networks Using Sink Relocation Mechanism

Base Station (BS) location and physical topology of a network play an important role in a Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) because the BS position governs the lifetime of networks. Optimizing the topology reduces the issues that arise due to the location of the destination node. During network formation, some nodes have tends to have that have longer distance to BS. In this case, data has to travel a longer distance to reach a BS. The node failure in WSN occurs majorly due to the exhaustion of the battery and replacing this is a difficult task. Therefore, these long transmissions have effects on network’s lifetime by wasting node’s energy. This can be overcome by relocating the BS using a clustered WSN. This proposed approach discussed about all possible locations to find the optimal position of BS in Low energy Aware Clustering hierarchy (LEACH) which is an energy-efficient protocol and shows the effects of BS Location in the WSN and the obtained results are compared with the original Leach and Leach-B
