Abstract

Sensors usually operate on battery power, which limits energy consumption. Energy efficient optimization algorithms allow nodes to use smartly without wasting battery consumption. Hierarchical routing protocol is the finest recognized protocol for improving power consumption in wireless sensor network. The LEACH protocol not take into account the remaining energy of the node when selecting the cluster header, it is possible to select a node with a slightly lower energy as the cluster header. In this way, the cluster formed by this low-energy node will terminate prematurely and waste entire network resource. ILEACH is measured one of the finest of them. To improve service life, sensor nodes with high residual energy and short distance from the base station (BS) are chosen as cluster head (CH) nodes. Then intelligently manage these nodes to create clusters to maximize the lifetime of the WSN and minimize the average energy consumption. The TDMA protocol is used for intra-cluster communication. In this article, we propose a reform of the ILEACH protocol by acquaint with cluster communication, in which the cluster heads are organized in a hierarchical structure, additional optimizing the life of the WSN. The simulation outcomes illustrate that the improved algorithm in this respect outperforms the LEACH protocol.
