Abstract

One of the most significant difficulties in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is energy efficiency, as they rely on minuscule batteries that cannot be replaced or recharged. In battery-operated networks, energy must be used efficiently. Network lifetime is an important metric for battery-powered networks. There are several approaches to improve network lifetime, such as data aggregation, clustering, topology, scheduling, rate allocation, routing, and mobile relay. Therefore, in this paper, the authors present a method that aims to improve the lifetime of WSN nodes using a greedy algorithm. The proposed Greedy Algorithm method is used to extend the network lifetime by dividing the sensors into a number of disjoint groups while satisfying the coverage requirements. The proposed Greedy algorithm has improved the network lifetime compared to heuristic algorithms. The method was able to generate a larger number of disjoint groups.
