Title
A Novel Connectivity-Based LEACH-MEEC Routing Protocol for Mobile Wireless Sensor Network.
Abstract
In mobile wireless sensor network (MWSN), the lifetime of the network largely depends on energy efficient routing protocol. In the literature, cluster leader (CL) is selected based on remaining energy of mobile sensor nodes to enhance sensor network lifetime. In this study, a novel connectivity-based Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy-Mobile Energy Efficient and Connected (LEACH-MEEC) routing protocol was proposed, where CL is selected based on connectivity among neighboring nodes and the remaining energy of mobile sensor nodes. Consequently, it improves data delivery, network lifetime and balances the energy consumption. We studied various performance metrics including the number of alive nodes (NAN), remaining energy (RE) and packet delivery ratio (PDR). Our proposed LEACH-MEEC outperforms all other algorithms due to the connectivity metric. Moreover, the performance of mobility models was investigated through graphical and statistically tabulated results. The results show that Reference Point Group Mobility model (RPGM) is better than other mobility models.
