【 摘 要 】

For efficient running of wireless sensor network applications, energy conservation of the sensors becomes a prime paradigm for prolonging lifetime of the network. Taking this aspect into consideration, a cluster head weight selection method called Cluster Chain Weight Metrics approach (CCWM) has been discussed that takes service parameters for enhancing performance of the overall network. In a clustering based approach one of the main concerns is selection of appropriate cluster heads in the network and the formation of balanced clusters. Cluster heads are selected first in a network based on weight metric and then cluster formation takes place. This approach not only aims to conserve energy of sensors but also balances load. A local clustering mechanism is adopted within the cluster to reduce computation and communication cost. Also, a new technique for data transmission is explored. The results of the proposed approach are compared through simulation with LEACH, WCA and IWCA. The proposed approach shows an improvement on an average over rounds by 51% over LEACH, 27% from WCA and 18.8% from IWCA in terms of lifetime and energy consumption.
