A Low Cost Methane Absorption Fueling System in Wireless Sensor Networks using SBC-MS

Abstract

The isolated accessible Methane (CH4) Absorption Fueling System (MAFS) is matured based on the mechanics of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) comprised of gas sensing capable motes complementing a MAFS-WSN. Discrete routing protocols have been designed earlier for data collection in both compatible and divergent networks. This research presents a novel Scheduling based Clustering (SBC) with Mobile Sink (MS) strategy (SBC-MS) which supplements data collection in MAFS-WSN. The SBC-MS strategy attempts to exploit the vital parameters of energy and distance in selecting the appropriate cluster head that well suits MAFS-WSN in reliable gas detection. The MSs are exploited to reduce the energy expenditure in data communication. Extensive experimentations have been carried out with the proposed SBC-MS to ensure the QOS of MAFS-WSN in terms of schedulability and reliability. The simulation results prove that SBC-MS outperforms the earlier clustering technique M-LEACH in terms of network lifetime, energy consumption, end-to-end delay and data rate.
