摘要：Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is used for collecting the information from the environment. WSN consists of a large number of Sensor Nodes (SN). Each Sensor Nodes in the network are connected by a wireless Channels. All the real time applications of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) need energy. The nodes in the Wireless sensor networks are battery driven. There are some techniques such as clustering and data aggregation is used for energy efficiency. In the existing Energy Efficient Clustering to Enhanced Lifetime (EECPL) protocol, the reduction in the energy consumption is accomplished by performing data aggregation in the Cluster Members rather than Cluster Heads. Further, ring topology is adopted, in order to enable load balancing in the network. However, it is observed that the delay involved in data transmission is increased which makes it unsuitable for real-time application. In this paper, an Energy Efficient Clustering Protocol is proposed to reduce without compromising Network lifetime. The proposed protocol is compared with the existing EECPL protocol. The performance metrics considered for comparison are average end to end delay, the average energy consumption and network lifetime. NS2 simulation tool is used for the implementation. The proposed protocol outperforms the existing EECPL protocol.
