ENHANCED ROUTING PROTOCOL FOR HETEROGENEOUS WSN

Abstract: Applications for WSNs have significantly advanced in recent years. Clustering is a technique used in WSNs to increase operational efficiency and lengthen network lifecycle. The method of clustering involves splitting the sensing field of a sensor platform into a number of clusters. A leader, often referred to as the Cluster Head, is chosen for each cluster. Cluster heads may be chosen by the sensor node of the cluster or by the network administrator. The cluster- dependent routing protocol is a method of selecting and transmitting data to the CH that uses extremely little energy. This study looks at various energy-efficient clustering techniques used in the wireless sensor industry. Numerous energy-saving cluster algorithms, including LEACH, K- means, SEP, and Z-SEP, are also examined in the paper. These algorithms' main objectives are to reduce energy usage and increase network longevity. The system may save a large amount of energy with optimised grouping. The authors of this study conducted extensive research on WSN clustering procedures.
