Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a rapidly emerging field in communication with vast arena of applications. A lot of research focusing on energy awareness has been carried out on the various sensor network constraints like routing, power management and data distribution. Wireless sensor nodes generally have a lesser amount of memory, restricted battery power, little computational capability and small range of communication. Hence, there is a need for energy-efficient routing protocol to forward the incoming packet. In this paper, Effective Cluster Head Selection based on Energy, Density and Mobility (EDM) model has been proposed for WSN. The cluster-head nodes are selected based on the residual energy, lowest mobility factor and density of the nodes. Gateway nodes are used which act as intermediate nodes to transfer the aggregated data from cluster head to the Base station. The effective cluster head selection based on EDM for WSN protocol helps enhance the efficient utilization of energy and increase network lifetime.
