Abstract
The eminence of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) has grown massively in the past years because WSN has the possibility to associate the physical world with the virtual world by framing a system of various sensor nodes by deploying it in a network. Here, sensor nodes are typically battery-driven gadgets, and consequently energy consumption of sensor nodes is a noteworthy design issue. To handle this issue Cluster based routing is most popular routing technique in Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs). Due to various need of WSN applications, efficient energy utilization in routing protocols is still a potential area of research. The proposed work tried to overcome the problem of energy contraint in Z-SEP protocol in such a way that energy consumption of every node in the wireless sensor networks is minimized with the help of improving the stability period, instability period ,network lifetime and throughput. This thesis solves the problem by proposing a clustering based single-sink routing protocol for heterogeneous wireless sensor networks in which 3 types of nodes are introduced. The idea of multi-hop communication and distance factor is considered.Using the MATLAB simulation the result is compared with the Z-SEP protocol and the result shows that the proposed protocol outperforms the Z-SEP protocol.
