A Multi-Parameter-Based Clustering Protocol For Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Wireless sensor network can be for the urbanization of the modern civilization. Our all over growth critically depends on the development in of agriculture. Thus, we have deployed the wireless sensor network for smartification of the cultivation. In this work to collect data we have deployed sensors in the field. We have considered a heterogeneous environment where each sensor has varying computational power, storage capacity and residual energy. In such heterogeneous environment to prolong the lifespan of the sensors we have proposed a Clustering algorithm. In our protocol we have considered various parameters of the sensor such as residual power, storage and computational capacity. Considering multiple parameter is shows the novelty of our work. Our deployed system is scalable with hundreds of sensors.
