Unequal Energy Aware Secure Clustering Technique for Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

As wireless sensor network has limited resources in terms of battery power, computation capacity and memory, therefore a dynamic clustering approach is proposed in order to reduce the energy consumption of the network. The algorithm works on various parameters such as residual energy, distance to the base station, intra cluster distance and number of neighboring nodes to elect a Cluster Head. The Cluster Head aggregates the data from all the cluster members and uses chaining method to send data to the Base Station. The proposed system helps in reducing the energy consumption and increases the life time of the network as compared to the existing systems.
