    Application of the edcr algorithm in a cluster based multi-hop wireless sensor network
    (IEEE, 2006-10-18) Gamwarige, S; Kulasekere, E. C
    The energy driven cluster head rotation algorithm proposed in (Gamwarige, S and Kulasekere, E, 2005) and analyzed in (Gamwarige, S and Kulasekere, E, 2006) is based on a single hop communication model where the data messages from each cluster head (CH) node is sent directly to the base station (BS). As a result when the wireless sensor network (WSN) dimensions are large, the nodes located far away from the BS die much faster. In this paper a method of extending the lifetime of the WSN based on a multihop communication model applied to the EDCR algorithm is proposed. The modified EDCR (EDCR-MH) relays all CH to BS messages via other CH nodes by computing a shortest path based on local heuristic information. Further, the EDCR-MH also has provisions to minimize the burden due to excessive data relay on nodes closer to the BS. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm out performs algorithms like under similar conditions

    An energy efficient distributed clustering algorithm for ad hoc deployed wireless sensor networks in building monitoring applications
    (2009-01-01) Gamwarige, S; Kulasekere, E. C
    In recent years Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been deployed for Building Monitoring (BM) as they provide a low cost and reconfigurable alternative to centralized cable based sensor systems. Using WSNs gives rise to unique issues in its practical usage. Lifetime of a WSN is one such crucial issue to be addressed during deployment. Clustering is an effective way of extending the lifetime of a WSN. In this article we propose a distributed and energy driven clustering algorithm where the selection of the cluster heads (CHs) are based on relative residual energy level of sensors. Furthermore, the CHs are rotated only when their energy drops below a dynamic threshold computed by the algorithm. As a result, the overheads in the inter sensor communications will be reduced and thereby the proposed algorithm will favor more powerful nodes over the weaker ones to prolong the lifetime of the entire WSN. This will effectively prolong the usability of the monitoring system and thus the underlying safety of the building. The results will show that the proposed algorithm performs better when compared to existing clustering algorithms. Further we present theoretical analysis of the performance of the proposed algorithm in terms of correctness and complexity and explain how to identify the optimal values for key parameters such as transmission range and re-clustering trigger threshold function value in order to maximize the network lifetime
