Abstract |
The energy of nodes in Wireless Sensor Network (WSNs) is usually limited which has to be consumed economically in order to prolong the lifetime of the network. The imbalanced use degrade the sensor node energy quickly and leads to sensor voids which further cause the routing hole problem. The routing hole problem ultimately effect the network performance. To solve the routing hole problem an Energy efficient Least Edge Computation routing protocol (ELEC) is proposed in literature. The simulation results show that ELEC achieves nearly double network lifetime by equal energy consumption in various parts of the network as compared to other existing routing techniques such as GRACE, LEACH and AODV-EHA. Proposed paper presents progressive Energy efficient Least Edge Computation (P-ELEC) routing protocol, where a cluster head percentage is incremented periodically. Incrementing the cluster head minimizes workload of each cluster head and in-turn enhances the lifetime of the network. Simulation result shows prolongation of lifetime under various scenarios and modes of operation. |
