Abstract

Due to the restricted hardware resources of the sensor nodes, modelling and designing energy efficient routing methods to increase the overall network lifetime have become one of the most significant strategies in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Cluster-based heterogeneous routing protocols, a popular part of routing technology, have proven effective in management of topology, energy consumption, data collection or fusion, reliability, or stability in a distributed sensor network. In this article, an energy efficient three-level heterogeneous clustering method (DEEC) based distributed energy efficient clustering protocol named TBSDEEC (Threshold balanced sampled DEEC) is proposed. Contrary to most other studies, this study considers the effect of the threshold balanced sampled in the energy consumption model. Our model is compared with the DEEC, EDEEC (Enhanced Distributed Energy Efficient Clustering Protocol), and EDDEEC (Enhanced Developed Distributed Energy Efficient Clustering Protocol) using MATLAB as two different scenarios based on quality metrics, including living nodes on the network, network efficiency, energy consumption, number of packets received by base station (BS), and average latency. After, our new method is compared with artificial bee colony optimization (ABCO) algorithm and energy harvesting WSN (EH-WSN) clustering method. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed model is more efficient than the other protocols and significantly increases the sensor network lifetime.

The proposed model was compared with DEEC, EDEEC, and EDDEEC as two different simulations using the MATLAB program for network performance, throughput of the network, energy consumption of the system, number of packets received by base station (BS), and average latency
While WSN was being constructed, 100 sensor nodes were randomly distributed in a 100 m by 100 m area with a centrally positioned BS

Summary

Introduction

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) include small-sized sensor nodes that can transmit data through data sensing, computation and wireless channel communication capabilities [1]. In [9], a new energy efficient (EE) clustering based method is proposed for single pass, heterogeneous WSNs. Simulations in MATLAB show that the mentioned method has a 1.62-1.89 times better stability than known protocols such as LEACH, DEEC, and SEP. The node with highest energy in a cluster is chosen as CH in a determined period and the all field is reclustered depending on the selected CHs. In one paper [23], an energy efficient routing protocol for wireless sensor networks is recommended. (i) The proposed method (TBSDEEC) is a DEEC-based, energy efficient three-level heterogeneous clustering model named TBSDEEC for distributed sensor networks. The proposed model was compared with DEEC, EDEEC, and EDDEEC as two different simulations using the MATLAB program for network performance, throughput of the network, energy consumption of the system, number of packets received by BS, and average latency.
