A Novel Scheme for Energy Efficiency and Secure Routing Protocol in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

AbstractWireless sensor network (WSN) is known to be the combination of numerous sensor nodes and it can be connected temporarily toward the base station. The sensor nodes are used to collect the information and then forward to the central location. Delay occurs when the data is transmitted in an uncovered area. Not only delay but also energy consumption is high in an uncovered data transmission area. To overcome this problem, network coding method is presented to improve energy efficiency and secure multi-hop routing protocol named energy efficiency and secure routing protocol (EESR). This proposed routing protocol incorporates three different techniques, namely location-based routing, flooding restriction, and clustering method. The network regions are divided into four quadrants. Each of the quadrant has cluster formation and cluster head is assigned to each cluster in a random manner. The data transmission from cluster head in each quadrant to central location called as base station is protected. Finally, the delay can be reduced while transmitting data in an uncovered area by combining two data into single data by using network coding method in wireless sensor networks. The analysis of result demonstrated by the proposed method in terms of energy efficiency, network throughput, average one way delay, lifetime of network is improved than the existing schemes.KeywordsClusteringNetwork Encoding ProtocolRestricted floodingWireless sensor network
