摘要:Energy efficiency is a vital issue in wireless sensor networks. In this paper, an energy efficient routing algorithm has been proposed with an aim to enhance lifetime of network. In this paper, Fuzzy C-Means clustering has been used to form optimum number of static clusters. A concept of coherence is used to eliminate redundant data generation and transmission which avoids undue loss of energy. Intra-cluster and inter-cluster gateways are used to avoid nodes from transmitting data through long distances. A new strategy has been proposed to select robust nodes near sink for direct data transmissions. The proposed algorithm is compared with LEACH, MR-LEACH, MH-LEACH and OCM-FCM based upon lifetime, average energy consumption and throughput. From the results, it is confirmed that the performance of the proposed algorithm is much better than other algorithms and is more suitable for implementation in wireless sensor networks.
