Improved Hybrid Energy Aware Clustered Protocol for IoT Heterogeneous Network for WSN using Fuzzy Logic

Abstract

The wireless sensor networks consist of numerous small battery-powered nodes. These networks provide a support to IoT applications related to agriculture, healthcare etc. Increasing the lifetime of the sensor nodes is a major issue. To increase the lifespan of the nodes in WSN, in the proposed protocol, clustering protocol have been presented where the cluster heads are selected according to fitness value of the nodes. The performance was evaluated based on number of dead nodes and throughput of the network. The better values of these parameters indicate the proposed protocol outperformed the existing one.
