A New Linear Cluster Handling (LCH) Technique Toward´s Energy Efficiency in Linear WSNs

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is an emerging field for researchers in the current decade. For obtaining longevity of network lifetime, and reducing energy consumption, energy efficient routing protocol play a vital role. In this paper, we present a scalable and energy efficient routing protocol, A New Linear Cluster Handling (LCH) Technique Towards Energy Efficiency in Linear WSNs with multiple static sinks in a linearly enhanced field of 1000m×2m2. The whole network field is divided into four equal sub-regions. For efficient data gathering, we place three static sinks i.e. Two at the both corners and one at the centre of the field. A proactive routing protocol Distributed Energy Efficient Clustering with Linear Cluster Handling (DEEC-LCH)is implemented in the network field. Furthermore, a reactive protocol Threshold Sensitive Energy Efficient with Linear Cluster Handling (TEEN-LCH) is also implemented for the same scenario with three static sinks. Simulation shows improved results for our proposed protocols as compared to simple DEEC and TEEN, interim of network lifetime, throughput and energy consumption.
