Enhancing Network lifetime and Throughput in Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

In the modern era, WSNs broadly used in many research areas. Mainly researchers are focusing on rising the network lifetime, throughput and decreasing the energy utilization to make the network more reliable, robust and more responsive for a longer period of time. In this paper, two key aspects are taken into account; (i) network lifetime (ii) throughput of the network. The proposed approach is based on multilevel heterogeneity inspired by SEP (Stable Election Protocol). First node dead in the network plays a vital role in network lifetime because if the first node dead after a long period then definitely network lifetime becomes better. To get better the network life time, the proposed approach is another effort to make the network more responsive. Proposed approach compared with NEECP (Novel Energy-Efficient clustering protocol), ICACO (Inter Cluster Ant Colony optimization) and DCHSM (Dynamic Cluster Head Selection Method) gives the improved outcome in conditions of Network lifetime and throughput. In addition to this, comparison with existing approaches is carried out by considering the research papers from the year 2000 to 2017for 16 approaches.
