“…In this respect, Erman et al [14] suggested a network load balancing protocol based on cross-layer partitioning that combines the load balancing and clustering techniques in the whole network, thereby enabling the multisink network to effectively transmit data by constructing the best routing tree based on the local metric. A routing algorithm to achieve load balance between multisinks was further introduced by [15], where each data packet randomly selects only one sink as its target node.…”

“…However, the sensor nodes are usually deployed in a place where it is very difficult to conduct manual maintenance within the coalmine tunnel. Some studies [14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22] have proposed methods relating to load balance and effectiveness of energy consumption with the aim of avoiding packet loss caused by congestion and collision in the data transmission process. However, these studies are not directly related to the special structure of the coalmine tunnel and therefore cannot be applied here.…”

Traditional underground coalmine monitoring systems are mainly based on the use of wired transmission. However, when cables are damaged during an accident, it is difficult to obtain relevant data on environmental parameters and the emergency situation underground. To address this problem, the use of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has been proposed. However, the shape of coalmine tunnels is not conducive to the deployment of WSNs as they are long and narrow. Therefore, issues with the network arise, such as extremely large energy consumption, very weak connectivity, long time delays, and a short lifetime. To solve these problems, in this study, a new routing protocol algorithm for multisink WSNs based on transmission power control is proposed. First, a transmission power control algorithm is used to negotiate the optimal communication radius and transmission power of each sink. Second, the non-uniform clustering idea is adopted to optimize the cluster head selection. Simulation results are subsequently compared to the Centroid of the Nodes in a Partition (CNP) strategy and show that the new algorithm delivers a good performance: power efficiency is increased by approximately 70%, connectivity is increased by approximately 15%, the cluster interference is diminished by approximately 50%, the network lifetime is increased by approximately 6%, and the delay is reduced with an increase in the number of sinks.

Problem Statement: In order to reduce or minimize energy consumption and to improve bandwidth utilization in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), it was essential to consider its architecture in the network topology, power consumption, data rate and fault tolerance. Our objective is to formulate an effective cluster formation of nodes with multiple sinks to reduce power consumption and minimize the data loss. Approach: In this study, we propose to design a distributed cluster based routing technique in which multiple sinks were deployed. Initially the average distance between the sensor nodes and the sink was calculated and the nodes send their location information to the neighboring sinks. The sinks were updated this information at every time interval. The optimal sink places could be found using the global information based method. After sinking deployment, the information of each cluster was transmitted to other cluster using a gateway. The information gathered by the sink was transmitted to other clusters using a gateway. Results: By simulation results, we show that our proposed technique was enhanced the packet delivery ratio while reducing the energy consumption and delay. Conclusion: Our proposed approach minimizes the power consumption and data losses.

“…Implementing multiple sinks also reduces latency in the network. [18] introduces P-NLB (Partition-Based Network Load Balanced Routing), a cross-layered pro tocol for data collection in WSN. P-NLB implements multiple sinks in the net work and uses MAC and network layer in routing data.…”
