Energy Efficient Clustering Hierarchy in Wireless Sensor Network using Dynamic Clustering Approach ILEACH-ACHH Protocol Compared with LEACH-ACHH Protocol

Abstract

Aim: The main aim is to improve the energy efficiency of Wireless Sensor networks using the ILEACH-ACHH protocol and compared with LEACH-ACHH protocol. Materials and Methods: In this cluster-based dynamic routing the cluster heads are selected using multiple parameters such as Innovative node footprint, node threshold value, average energy, and distance. Sample data's ($n=39$) are collected by a varying number of rounds and it was calculated by calculator.Net with pre-test power of 80% (G-power). Result: The simulation results show that the ILEACH-ACH protocol achieved 12 % higher lifetime, 7.9 % higher throughput, 5.4 % higher packet delivery ratio, 4.2 % lower delay and 6.8 % lower energy consumption compared to LEACH-ACHH protocol. Independent sample t-test was performed which shows that it is statistically significant in terms of Lifetime, packet delivery ratio, delay, energy consumption and throughput ($p < 0.5$). Conclusion: From the independent statistical t-test and experiment's results the proposed Improved low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy-Advanced Clustering Hierarchy High (ILEACH-ACHH) protocol and performances are better when compared to the low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy-Advanced Clustering Hierarchy High (LEACH-ACHH) protocol.
