Abstract
WSNs which are the major component in the IoT mainly use interconnected intelligent wireless sensors. These wireless sensors sense monitor and gather data from their surroundings and then deliver them to users or access connected IoT devices remotely. One of the main issues in WSNs is that sensor nodes are generally powered by batteries, but because of the rugged environments, it is difficult to add energy. The other one may cause an unbalanced energy consumption among sensor nodes due to the uneven distribution of sensors. For these reasons, the death of nodes by the energy exhausting and the performance of the network may rapidly decrease. Hence, an efficient algorithm study for prolonging the network lifetime of WSNs is one of important challenges. In this paper, a chain-based wireless sensor network model is proposed to improve network performance with balanced energy consumption via the solution of the long-distance communication problem. The proposed algorithm is consisted of three phases: Segmentation, Chain Formation, and Data Collection. In segmentation phase, an optimal distance tolerance is determined, and then the network field is divided into small sub-regions according to its value. The chain formation is started from the sub-region far away from the sink, and then extended, and sensed data are collected along a chain and transmitted to a sink. Simulations have been performed to compare with PEGASIS and Enhanced PEGASIS using an OMNET++ simulator. The simulation results from this study showed that the proposed algorithm prolonged the network lifetime via the achievement of the balanced energy consumption compared to PEGASIS and Enhanced PEGASIS. The proposed algorithm can be used in any applications to improve network performance of WSNs.
