PERFORMANCE OF MULTI-HOP DYNAMIC MULTI-ZONE FOR LEACH IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK MAPPING ON THE AGRICULTURE AREA

Recent technology of communication advances resulted in the developing and improving Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) consisting of low-cost, low power and smaller multi-functional sensor units. In large-scale deployments like agricultural areas, scalable and energy-efficient routing and data aggregation protocols are essential. Usually, the sensor nodes deployed in large WSN areas depend on limited battery resources. Cluster-based routing techniques are primary methods to extend the lifetime of WSNs. For this reason, we propose a Multi-hop Dynamic Multi-Zone Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (MDMZ-LEACH), a multi-hop clustering-based protocol architecture for improving the performance of LEACH. We use mapping for fixed node distribution planning based on research needs in large agricultural areas. Matlab simulation results show good performance of network lifetime and energy consumption with the optimal CH selection based on the proposed protocol and also compared the results with existing LEACH-derived routing protocols with various number of sensor nodes and initial energy.
