Abstract

Recent technological advances in the areas of microcontroller architectures, sensors and low power wireless transceivers have made it possible to deploy large wireless sensors. There have been numerous research results in the area of power efficiency in the adhoc and wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm, which is used to monitor the events about anomalous behaviors of the volcanic edifice. This model uses the sensor devices to monitor the volcano with the help of support node to detect early hazards. It has consumed fewer amounts of the resources while transmitting the data packets from the regular node to the base station. It is compared with the existing algorithms and has shown better results in terms of power consumption and control message packets over the network.
