Cluster Based Data Transfer Strategy for Layered Wireless Sensor Network
The paper develops a relatively different cluster based data transfer pattern directed to enhance the lifetime of a layered Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The interactive information flow between layers appears to captivate the resurgence of new definitions in the process of routing and forge attractive corner stones in communication networks. It involves the use of an Ad-hoc On demand Distance Vector format and edges on the borders of minimal energy consumption, adaptive communication decisions and local congestion avoidance to fulfill the needs of a modern communication platform. The proposed Cluster based Ad-hoc On demand Distance Vector (CAODV) approach offers an energy efficient formulation to effectively utilize sensor and actuator interface and proliferate a new dimension in the domains of a WSN. The role of a Cluster Head (CH) adds weight to the prophecy of conserving energy for the power source and translates the diminishing need of energy to force the data stream to the destination. The Network Simulator (NS2) simulation results show that the design significantly improves the transfer efficiency and outperforms that of the layered routing schemes.
