A Cluster-based Routing Scheme to Improve the Network Lifetime in Wireless Sensor Networks with a Mobile Sink
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a wireless sensor network which consists of a base station as a data sink and a number of sensor nodes, the clustering has been adopted as a way of reducing the energy consumption of communication. The clustering, however, has suffered from the rapid burnout of cluster heads. We propose a 2-tier data collection architecture which requires single-hop intra-cluster transmission and direct communication between mobile sink and cluster heads. To maximize the network lifetime, cluster heads are reselected based on the remaining energy level. The clustering and the routing algorithm are processed by the base station and a mobile node navigates among sensor nodes periodically, collects power usage data from each sensor node, and deliver the next clustering and routing information. A clustering and mobile sink navigation path search algorithm based on Voronoi graphs is proposed.

An Adaptive LEACH-based Clustering Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks
LEACH is the most popular clastering algorithm in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). However, it has two main drawbacks, including random selection of cluster heads, and direct communication of cluster heads with the sink. This paper aims to introduce a new centralized cluster-based routing protocol named LEACH-AEC (LEACH with Adaptive Energy Consumption), which guarantees to generate balanced cl...
متن کاملEnergy-Saving in Wireless Sensor Networks Based on Optimization Sink Movement Control
A sensor network is made up of a large number of sensors with limited energy. Sensors collect environmental data then send them to the sink. Energy efficiency and thereby increasing the lifetime of sensor networks is important. Direct transfer of the data from each node to the central station will increase energy consumption. Previous research has shown that the organization of nodes in cluster...
