Enhancing Sensor Node Energy Efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks through an Adaptable Power Allocation Framework

By M. S. Muthukkumar C. M. Arun Kumar

In the realm of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), approaches to managing power are generally divided into two main strategies: reducing power consumption and optimizing power distribution. Power reduction strategies focus on creating a path for data packets between the sink and destination nodes that minimizes the distance and, consequently, the number of hops required. In contrast, power optimization strategies seek to enhance data transfer efficiency without splitting the network into disconnected segments. Adjusting the data path to balance power often leads to longer routes, which can shorten the network's lifespan. Conversely, opting for the shortest possible path tends to result in a densely packed network structure. The newly proposed Adaptable Power Allocation Framework (APAF) aims to improve energy-efficient routing by simultaneously addressing both power balance optimization and the management of the data packet path. Unlike conventional routing methods, which primarily focus on the shortest path, APAF designs the data pathway by taking into account both the least amount of data transmission and the equilibrium of power distribution and balancing. Through a focus on power balance optimization and intelligent data path management, it demonstrates its effectiveness in improving energy-efficient routing. This study introduces the Adaptable Power Allocation Framework (APAF), which improves energy-efficient routing in WSNs by balancing power consumption and optimizing the data path. APAF is compared with traditional methods (LEACH, Swarm Optimization), showing a 20-30% improvement in data loss reduction and extending network lifespan.

Efficient Load Balancing in WSN Using Quasi –oppositional Based Jaya Optimization with Cluster Head Selection

By M. S. Muthukkumar S. Diwakaran

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijcnis.2023.02.07, Pub. Date: 8 Apr. 2023

Researchers have been paying close attention to the wireless sensor (WSN) networks area because of its variety of applications, including industrial management, human detection, and health care management. In Wireless Sensor (WSN) Network, consumption of efficient energy is a challenging problem. Many clustering techniques were used for balancing the load of WSN network. In clustering, the cluster head (CH) is selected as a relay node with greater power which is compared with the nodes of non-CH. In the existing system, it uses LBC-COFL algorithm to reduce the energy consumption problem. To overcome this problem, the proposed system uses Quasi oppositional based Jaya load balancing strategy with cluster head (QOJ-LCH) selection protocol to boost the lifespan of network and energy consumption. The QOJ-LCH method improves the relay nodes life and shares the load on relay nodes equitably across the network to enhance the lifespan. It also reduces the load-balancing problems in Wireless Sensor networks. It uses two routing methods single-hop and multiple-hop. The proposed QOJ-LCH with cluster head selection method enhances the network’s lifespan, total amount of power utilization and the active sensor devices present in the Single-hop routing ,it worked with 1600 rounds in network and 300 sensor nodes, for Multiple-hop routing, it worked with 1800 rounds in network and 350 sensor nodes. It achieves better performance, scalability and reliability.
