A Hybrid Transmitting Algorithm for Unequal Cluster-Based Routing Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract:

A cluster-based network topology enables the efficient utilization of the limited energy resources in network; based on multi-hop clustering model, the unequal routing protocol can lead to uniform energy dissipation among the cluster head and achieves some improvement on the network lifetime. However, the bottleneck zone, where the energy of the nodes closer to the Sink is depleted quickly, still limits the network lifetime in some cases; especially the collecting data cant be compressed. In this paper, a Hybrid transmitting protocol for Unequal Cluster-based Routing WSN(H-UCR) was proposed, which combined single-hop and multi-hop transmission is implemented to balance the energy dissipation among the entire network. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed approach is effective in balancing the energy consumption and prolonging the network lifetime.
