Abstract :
Advancement in electronics and WSNs has enabled the improvement of lower cost and lower power, high transmission. Also in large scale wireless networks, dynamic monitoring of system degradation and detection of bad links proves very difficult. One of the most important challenges in WSN is to design faulty link detection in cluster based energy efficient wireless sensor network to increase the network efficiency, reliability and lifetime. Hot spot in WSNs leads the location having heavy traffic load. Sensor nodes in heavy traffic area drain there energy very quickly, leading in failure link detection of network services and affect WSNs performance including transmitting and receiving of information. Cluster based routing algorithms is utilized to perform energy-efficient routing in WSN and link detection sequentially checks all potential links incurs high transmission. In cluster based routing algorithm, cluster head (CH) represents all nodes in the cluster and data is collected from them. To balance the traffic load and the energy consumption in the network, the size of the cluster should be carefully determined and the rotation of CH among all nodes within the cluster in the network. In this paper, we propose faulty link detection in cluster based energy efficient wireless sensor network algorithm. In WSNs maximum energy is consumed for transmission and reception and energy is non-linear function (exponential) of transmission range. So, in faulty link detection in cluster based energy efficient wireless sensor network election of CH and faulty link detection is based onto the residual energy and optimal CH distance of every node. In addition, Link fails arises in the network if the energy of sensor node falls below threshold value is considered and next shortest routing path is used for transmission for increasing the network lifetime and reliability. Furthermore, the energy consumption of being a CH is equally spread among the cluster members. Performance results show faulty link detection in energy efficient cluster based wireless sensor network scheme reduces the end to end energy consumption, prolong the network lifetime and increase reliability of multi hop network compared to the well-known clustering algorithms LEACH.
