Abstract

In a wireless sensor network, it is necessary to have control over the network topology to increase the lifetime and scalability. The aim of the project is to create a multi-layer structured wireless sensor network to enhance the lifetime and scalability of the same. The architecture is based on hierarchical clustering. The architecture is for homogeneous wireless sensor network. A cluster is fixed for each layer and the information or data of that entire layer is aggregated to the cluster head and then to the cluster head of the next layer and so on if there are other layers and finally to the base station. Cluster head is determined by the weight of the sensor node using the number of the neighboring nodes and the distance from the base station. The comparison of result with other hierarchical based existing protocol like LEACH and SEP can also be done with the proposed protocol.
