An Energy-Efficient Mobility-Based Cluster Head Selection for Lifetime Enhancement of Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless based sensor networks contain sensors for environment monitoring but have restricted resources. Many clustering protocols are designed to prolong network lifetime but have problems of inadequate cluster head selection criteria, fixed clustering, and static rounds which consume more energy. It is needed to develop an adaptive clustering strategy for better CH selection and load balancing. In this article, we introduced an energy-efficient mobility based cluster head selection mechanism to overcome these limitations. CH selection is based on dedicated parameters that have a huge impact on the sensor energy consumption. The weightage of each node is calculated on the base of the node’s mobility level, residual energy, distance to sink, and density of neighbors. Inter-cluster communication uses single-hop/multi-hop. MATLAB is used to perform simulations. Results show that the proposed approach EEMCS performs better as compared to the existing algorithms CRPD, LEACH, and MODLEACH in terms of load balancing, network stability, energy depletion, and throughput. Energy utilization in the case of EEMCS is much less and the network lifetime is greater than other existing protocols.
