Abstract:

Background: The green Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) have brought a revolution in uplifting the technology efficiently to facilitate the human sector in the best possible way. Green Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) tactically focuses on improving the survival period of deployed nodes (as they have a limited battery) in any target area.

Objective: To address this concern, the main objective is to improve the routing in WSN. The cluster- based routing helps in acquiring the same with the appropriate Cluster Head (CH) selection. The use of energy heterogeneous nodes that normally comprise of high energy nodes, puts a lot of financial burden on the users as they incur a huge cost, thus becoming a bottleneck for the growth of green WSN. Therefore , another objective of the study is to reduce this cost involved in the network.

Methods: A cost-effective routing protocol is proposed that introduces energy-efficient CH selection by incorporating parameters namely, node density, residual energy, the total energy of network and distance factor. Thus, the proposed protocol is termed as Cost-Effective Cluster-based Routing Protocol (CECRP) as it performs remarkably better with only two energy level nodes as compared to state-of-the-art protocols with three levels nodes.

Results: It can be encapsulated from the simulation results that CECRP outperforms state-of-theprotocols on different performance metrics.

Conclusion: Furthermore, it is comprehended from the simulation results that CECRP proves to be 33.33% more cost-effective as compared to the competent protocols, hence CECRP favors the green WSN.
