Enhancement of WSN Network Lifetime

Abstract

Extending WSN lifetime is a crucial problem, designing, developing, and implementing energy-efficient protocols for WSNs is one of the most research challenges. Researchers went toward finding more efficient solutions by proposing new routing protocols or enhancing existing protocols to extend the network/battery lifetime. In this paper, we propose an AI enhancement for the LEACH protocol using supercluster head (SCH) and integrate the proposed enhancement with Consume Power Fairly (CPF) protocol to find the optimal path from source to destination. Our simulation results demonstrate 40% improvement in network lifetime.
