Locoduo - Low Cost Dual Hop Clustering Based Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Network

As with the cases of other works in routing protocols of wireless sensor networks, the focus of this research is power efficiency and thus achieving increased network lifetime so that the sensor network can be used for a longer period of time. Here we proposed a all new concept of two hop low power transmission of data between the cluster head and sink in case of clustering based routing protocols and then compared the results with LEACH protocol and some of its other recent variants and obtained better performance in network lifetime. It is also seen that apart from being the most power efficient, this proposed algorithm works best as compared to others when the number of nodes deployed is less i.e. It is best suitable for low cost sensing.
