Abstract

The main focus in the designing of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) applications and protocols is minimizing energy dissipation while at the same time maximizing the network lifetime. In this paper, we investigate the idle listening and hotspot problems with respect to the clustering routing technique in WSNs. Some of the studies in clustering centered around equal clustering scheme while others were based on unequal clustering scheme. Equal clustering scheme avoids inter-cluster idle listening as the intra-cluster data collection can be completed at the same time across all clusters in the network but lead to hotspot problem due to additional traffic relay experienced by cluster heads near the base station. Similarly, unequal clustering addresses hotspot problem but lead to inter-cluster idle listening due to the use of global network-wide intra-cluster collection among clusters of unequal sizes and densities. In this paper we proposed a zone-based clustering scheme referred to as hybrid equal and unequal clustering (HEUC) that jointly address inter-cluster idle listening and hotspot problems to maximize the lifetime of WSNs. To achieve this, the network area is firstly partitioned into zones. The size of clusters in the same zone is designed to be equal and cluster size increases across zones as the distance from the BS increases. Secondly, the density of nodes deployed in each cluster per zone is obtained in such a way that the distribution of nodes in zones away from BS increases according to the radius increase in clusters across the zones. Thirdly, a deterministic deployment strategy is used to deploy nodes into various clusters. Fourthly, we implement a zone-wise intra-cluster data collection strategy that allows intra-cluster data collection to be completed at once to address inter-cluster idle listening. Lastly, a multihop routing is used for data forwarding to BS. The result shows that our proposed HEUC has 38% and 51% lifetime improvement against EBULRP and AECR respectively.
