Atul Pratap Singh, Nishu Sharma, Nihar Ranjan Roy . Residual Energy and Distance based Energy-Efficient Communication Protocol for Wireless Sensor Network. International Journal of Computer Applications. 74, 12 ( July 2013), 11-16. DOI=10.5120/12936-9920
Wireless sensor network has gained increasing attention for the research community and users in the last years. In a wireless sensor network, sensor nodes have generally limited battery power so the critical aspect is to save the energy of nodes. Routing protocols plays the important role in energy consumption of nodes. In this paper we proposed energy efficient communication protocol based on energy and distance based cluster head selection. In this paper consider the remaining energy of nodes for cluster head selection when nodes are alive far from base station but clustering is not working well for alive nodes which are near to the base station then all nodes select as cluster head and communicate with base station directly. Simulation result with MATLAB show that this approach improves system lifetime 20 to30% more than LEACH and save residual energy by an order of magnitude compared to normal approach when energy is limited.
