Abstract

The Scientific betterments in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) technology have paved the way for the advancement of lower sized, reduced-cost, and highly-powered sensor nodes. The sensor nodes are consistently expected to work with limited power batteries, and their energy is the most precious asset in a WSN, proper usage of the total energy to perpetuate the Network's lifetime is the primary constraint and objective of the majority of the research works. As energy conservation and prolonging of network-lifetime have become a critical issue, a novel protocol for WSN based on an Advanced Fixed Path and Mobile Base Station energy-efficient PEGASIS based routing protocol is proposed in this research work. The proposed method focuses on the base station's specified mobility with a multiple-chain model to attain small size chains and reduce the single leader node load that directly affect the Network's energy conservation and lifetime. The experimental results based on average energy, residual energy, consumed energy, dead nodes, and alive nodes reflect the proposed method's efficiency to fulfill the above-said objectives. The proposed method is also compared with three current routing protocols, i.e., Energy Efficient Routing Algorithm with Mobile Sink Support for WSNs (EERCCSM), Cluster-Chain Mobile Agent Routing (CCMAR), and Energy-efficient Cluster-based Dynamic Routing Algorithm (ECDRA). This novelty and advancement of the base station will open new horizons for getting it placed much closer to the cluster leader to prolong Network's lifetime to a great extent in the future.
