An Intercluster-Chaining Protocol with Neighbour Node for Energy Efficient Data Collection in Wireless Sensor Networks

In this paper, we propose an Intercluster-Chaining Protocol with Neighbour Node for Energy Efficient Data Collection (ICCPNN) in Wireless Sensor Networks to prolonging network lifetime and low energy consumption and reduce transmission delay of data. ICCPNN using Neighbouring nodes for data collection that are chained with Cluster Head (CH). ICCPNN organizes sensor nodes into clusters by using multiple distance metrics and constructs a chain with Neighbour Node. Neighbour Node is elected based on it’s minimum distance between the CH and elected Neighbour Node construct a chain among the sensor nodes within cluster so that each sensor node receives data from a previous neighbor and transmits to a next neighbor. Existing approah that invoves CH is to collect information from all SN nodes that are present in cluster. But ICCPNN approach reduces CH work siginificantly for its data collection and saving energy of CH and reduces delay. Data collection is done by calling Neighbour Node is enough. No need to call all the SN nodes in cluster. If work is reduced energy will saved automatically and prolonging the network lifetime. ICCPNN also adopts a chain based data transmission mechanism for sending non-time critical data packets from the cluster heads to the base station. Our Simulation results explain that our proposed protocol significantly outperforms LEACH, CBRP and PEGASIS in conditions of network lifetime, energy consumption, transmission delay of data and the total number of data received at base station.
