Energy efficient multihop selection with PEGASIS routing protocol for wireless sensor networks

Recent achievements in wireless sensor networks have enabled the use of tiny and inexpensive sensors with the ability of sensing large information and propagating over large distances. But the most important concern with wireless sensor network is, the node sensing range is very small, Low storage and limited energy resources. So to overcome this type of problem efficient energy planning should be made. Clustering is one of the technologies that can utilize the node energy effectively. So that the network life time can be extended. The proposed method which uses the advantage of SNR for multi hopping and power efficient gathering in sensor information systems (PEGASIS) routing protocol in order to increase the life time of the network. The analysis shows that the proposed method has extended the network life time and were compared with the previously introduced methods based on different parameters.
