heTDR: Hierarchical Energy Based Clustering Head Selection with Trust Based Data Routing Protocol

Abstract

In wireless sensor networks (WSN), Energy consumption is a highly immersed area for the researcher. A sensor node is consisting the sensor, micro-controller, and battery. Wireless sensor network consists of the number of sensors node operated through battery for area monitoring and measurement. The sensors are also capable of data receiving, transmitting and processing. In the paper, proposed protocol is hierarchical clustering and residual energy-based CH selection trust-based routing protocol (HeTDR). This approach takes advantage of cluster formation using a hierarchical approach and CH selection based on the highest residual energy in every round. The life of network increase in HeTDR through trust-based data routing. Using feedback mechanism member node establishes the trust in the system and achieves system-level reliability. The simulation was carried out with specific parameters like network size, number of nodes, number of a cluster, packet size and many more. The simulation result of all proposed protocols compares with traditional protocols LEACH, HEED and EECRP in energy consumption, throughput, network lifetime, packet delivery ratio, end to end delay, bit error rate and jitter.
