Energy efficient distributed cluster head scheduling scheme for two tiered wireless sensor network

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) provides a significant contribution in the emerging fields such as ambient intelligence and ubiquitous computing. In WSN, optimization and load balancing of network resources are critical concern to provide the intelligence for long duration. Since clustering the sensor nodes can significantly enhance overall system scalability and energy efficiency this paper presents a distributed cluster head scheduling (DCHS) algorithm to achieve the network longevity in WSN. The major novelty of this work is that the network is divided into primary and secondary tiers based on received signal strength indication of sensor nodes from the base station. The proposed DCHS supports for two tier WSN architecture and gives suggestion to elect the cluster head nodes and gateway nodes for both primary and secondary tiers. The DCHS mechanism satisfies an ideal distribution of the cluster head among the sensor nodes and avoids frequent selection of cluster head, based on Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) and residual energy level of the sensor nodes. Since the RSSI is the key parameter for this paper, the practical experiment was conducted to measure RSSI value by using MSP430F149 processor and CC2500 transceiver. The measured RSSI values were given input to the event based simulator to test the DCHS mechanism. The real time experimental study validated the proposed scheme for various scenarios.

“…However, the cluster heads are responsible for data gathering from clusters via gateway to the outer world. 26 The failure links are easily isolated from the members as it possess the low RPS value. This scheme consumes light weight mathematical calculations for finding the intracluster RPS and intercluster RPS.…”

Architectural analysis for lifetime maximization and energy efficiency in hybridized WSN model

“…Mostly the attention, however, has been diverted for routing protocols as they might get varied based on the various application as well as network architecture. Clustering is a method in which choosing of Cluster Head [7] [9] [10] is done for preserving the energy consumption in WSN [4]. The network is separated into various groups namely clusters, and this is the designing process of clustering technique.…”
