Simulation of Efficient Life-Time in Clustering Approaches for New Approach in Wireless Sensor Network

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a multi-hop sensor network system in which sensor nodes are deployed in monitoring area to sense some environmental parameters.WSN is used to bridge the gap between physical world of humans and virtual world of electronics. Clustering is an important issue in WSN. Information gathering and routing are carried out based on the position of the sensor node. This paper does a detail simulation of the different clustering algorithms considering Energy Consumption Value, Latency Value, Packet Delivery ratio and Residual energy. Simulation results are discussed to describe the effect of CH selection and the size of the cluster. In addition we proposed a new clustering approach which uses reduction in number of clusters and CHs prolongs network lifetime.
