Comparison and performance analysis of clustering protocol using sleep&wakeup technique in WSN

In order to achieve data information, the Sensor Node´s should form into clusters in wireless sensor network. In Multi-hop sensor network, the Base-Station (sink) is might not be considered. That is why, the hot-spot problem may occur in this network. In this paper, we analyze the sleep&wakeup approach, in order to avoid the hot spot (WLAN) problem, which aims to increase the network lifetime using energy as well as packet delivery ratio. In this technique, C-H (cluster-head) has selected based on energy level & Base-Station distance. Using this technique, we can improve the energy consumption & PDR up to 63%, when compare to that of FCA (fuzzy clustering algorithm) and LEACH (low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy) clustering protocol. Our simulation results are shows that the sleep&wakeup approach is better and energy efficient clustering protocol.
