MAP: The new clustering algorithm based on multitier network topology to prolong the lifetime of wireless sensor network

Abstract

Wireless sensor network and its applications are interesting research that have been focused recently. Battery consumption of sensor nodes is the main problem in the family of wireless sensor that should be solved. So, to increase the scalability of the network, and to reduce the energy usage for overall sensor operations, clustering techniques and data aggregation are the main focus in this paper. The multi tier techniques has been designed precisely and the selection of the cluster head using Fuzzy Logic based on the three selected parameters are well used along with its limited resources of wireless sensor network. In this study, the main primary and secondary cluster head are the important entities of the algorithm for receiving and transmitting data to the base station. The contribution of this paper is mainly on the selection of a secondary cluster head and the routing protocol which the data transmission will involved the nearest cluster head for both tier one and tier two. Due to multi tier clustering in sensor network, the operations of the sensor network will eventually increase the lifetime of the network compared to LEACH and SEP protocols.
