Hybrid Clustering Shortest Path Routing Protocol (HCSPRP) for WSN

Abstract

Energy efficiency and stabilizing the network lifetime is one of the biggest priorities in a wireless sensor network. The life cycle of the sensor node mainly relies on limited batteries due to its tiny size. To exchange the information unceasingly from the wireless sensor’s nodes to the base station (BS) as a result their energy is exhausted. The Investigators have planned many techniques [7] [53] over the past to drop off the energy demand of nodes. The Clustering approach is very beneficial to avoid the additional energy drop of nodes in Wireless Sensor Networks. The prime focus of our research to extend the network lifetime of WSNs by implementing a chain-based Energy Efficient technique “Hybrid Clustering Shortest Path Routing Protocol (HC-SPRP) and compare the results with HMPBC, CCMAR, AZ-SEP, and Heterogeneous. The comparative simulation of these protocols is carried out via simulation tool “MATLAB”. Our result analysis proved that the intended protocol enhanced the network life period and increases the stability period of alive nodes, network longevity, throughput, improves power consumption with the help of Dijkstra Algorithm. Our proposed routing protocol outshine in large areas in comparison with the HMPBC, CCMAR, AZ-SEP, and Heterogeneous.
