Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks WSNs consists of number of tiny, low cost and low power sensor nodes to monitor some physical phenomenon like temperature, pressure, vibration, seismic events, landslide detection etc. The communication subsystem in WSNs is primarily responsible for energy consumption. This becomes a constraint in these N/Ws owing to the usage of non-rechargeable battery having a limited power supply. Hence, the present work incorporates a time series prediction based data reduction scheme to develop an energy efficient routing protocol for minimizing energy consumption of WSNs. In this paper, three approaches have been devised involving energy efficient cluster based routing protocol with residual energy and distance based cluster head selection method. The cluster formation in the proposed approaches is different from Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy LEACH routing protocol as its clusters will be fixed throughout the life of WSN. This leads to a reduction in overheads during cluster formation. Further, inter-cluster and intra-cluster transmissions are also minimized which results in an overall reduction in energy consumption of WSNs.
