Design and Implementation of Grid Based Clustering in WSN Using Dynamic Sink Node

Abstract

A wireless sensor network (WSN) has important applications, especially in remote environmental monitoring, which has been possible with the availability of smqller, cheqper, qnd more intelligent sensors. The equipment of these sensors are with wireless interfaces linked together to create a network, that contains many distributed nodes. The closest nodes to the sink are exploited with the huge traffic load since data from the entire region is forwarded through them to reach the sink. Consequently, their energy is rapidly tired and the network is divided. This is solved by changing the sink node position in Grid based clustering technique, which considers the optimal method for this purpose. A simulation with MATLAB can be applied for Grid based clustering technique to evaluate the performance of WSN. The expected results deal with outperforms in term of output, reduction in energy consumption , the residual energy imcrease, and the sensor network lifetime prolongation.
