Clustering process for maximizing lifetime using probabilistic logic in WSN

Energy attribute has always been the topic of concern in the area of wireless sensor network (WSN). Although, abundant research has been conducted for addressing the energy issues in WSN, but the majority of the techniques were explored with various flaws that couldn´t effectively address such issues. Hence, the proposed paper introduces a technique that performs a hierarchical clustering technique in order to enhance the total network lifetime of the sensor motes in the wireless transmission area. The technique applies non-deterministic approach and adopts intra-phase and inter-phase clustering. Every phase of the non-deterministic parameters enforces the optimal participation of the cluster members in the process of selection of cluster head. Finally, the simulation is performed in varied parameters and compared with the more standard LEACH protocol to find that the proposed technique highly enhances the network lifetime by 42%.
