An multilevel efficient energy clustering protocol with secure routing (MEECSR) in WSNs

Abstract

ABSTRACT Nowadays the interest of research by the researchers is dominating in various areas of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) domain. The task of reducing energy consumption and spreading WSN lifetime are very impressive. Increase of energy stability and developing an advanced routing mechanism is one of the main issues in WSNs. There is a rising concern about protection of data from sensors and these low power devices are not suitable to complex cryptographic algorithms. Hence, the lifetime optimization and security are two conflicting design issues that are not filled to multi-hop wireless sensor networks. This paper presents a multilevel efficient energy clustering protocol with secure routing (MEECSR) protocol with two adjustable parameters: energy balance mastery and probabilistic random walking to avoid the above conflicts. The protocol for energy consumption of a given network topology is severely displaced, which greatly reduces the lifetime of the sensor networks. Also a quantifiable security method is proposed to address the source location privacy. The protocol provides an admirable trade-off between routing efficiency and energy balance can significantly extend the lifetime of the sensor networks in all scenarios. Further, the non-uniform energy deployment shows an increase in the lifetime of the network and the total number of packets delivered. This paper shows the simulation results of security and energy efficiency with different parameters.
