Abstract:
Wireless distributed based microsensor systems will have reliable monitoring in variety
of environments for both civil and military applications. In this research work, we look
at communication protocols, which can have significant impact on the overall energy
dissipation of the networks in these systems. Based on the findings that the
conventional protocols of direct transmission, minimum-transmission-energy, multihop
routing, and static clustering may not be optimal for sensor networks.Therefore we
propose DCHRP (Dynamic Cluster Routing Protocol), a cluster-based protocol that
utilizes instance cluster creation to evenly distribute the energy load among the sensors
in the network. DCHRP uses instance clusters to enable scalability and strength for
dynamic networks. In addition to this, DCHRP is able to reduce the energy wastage
evenly among the sensors, and allowing easy dynamicity in WSNs.
