Mandeep Kaur, Kanwaljit Singh . Optimization of Stability Period in WSN using GA based Stable Election Protocol. International Journal of Computer Applications. 91, 8 ( April 2014), 33-36. DOI=10.5120/15903-5103
Wireless sensor network is an emerging and new technology in the field of data processing and wireless communication. The wireless network is composed of tiny nodes called as sensor nodes which are battery powered and are capable of transferring information to the destination i. e. Sink. Being battery powered these nodes are limited in energy and loose the energy during the process of routing. Once the sensor node has lost all its energy, it is dead. With the death of first sensor node the network becomes unstable. The stable election protocol (SEP) aims to increase the stability period of the network i. e. the period before the death of the first node. In this paper we propose the optimization of the stability period the sensor network and optimizing tool used here is genetic algorithm (GA). For the proficiency in stability period, the GA is applied on SEP. The simulation of the proposed algorithm is done on MATLAB and the results are compared with heterogeneous LEACH and SEP.
