Enhancement of adaptive cluster hierarchical routing protocol using distance and energy for wireless sensor networks

Abstract EN

The application of wireless networking is widely used in nuclear applications.

This includes reactor control and fire dedication system.

This paper is devoted to the application of this concept in the intrusion system of the Radioisotope Production Facility (RPF) of the Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority.

This includes the tracking, monitoring and control components of this system.

The design and implementation of wireless sensor networks has become a hot area of research due to the extensive use of sensor networks to enable applications that connect the physical world to the virtual world [1-2].

The original LEACH is named a communication protocol (clustering-based); the extended LEACH’s stochastic cluster head selection algorithm by a deterministic component.

Depending on the network configuration an increase of network lifetime can be accomplished [3].

The proposed routing mechanisms after enhancement divide the nodes into clusters.

A cluster head performs its task which is considerably more energy-intensive than the rest of the nodes inside sensor network.

So, nodes rotate tasks at different rounds between a cluster head and other sensors throughout the lifetime of the network to balance the energy dissipation [4-5].The performance improvement when using routing protocol after enhancement of the algorithm which takes into consideration the distance and the remaining energy for choosing the cluster head by obtains from the advertise message.

Network Simulator (Ns2 simulator) is used to prove that LEACH after enhancement performs better than the original LEACH protocol in terms of Average Energy, Network Life Time, Delay, Throughput and Overhead
