Optimization of Energy Consumption by Fuzzy Based Routing In Wireless Sensor Network

Maintaining the energy of sensors in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is important in critical applications.WSN consists of sensor nodes which sense the physical parameters such as temperature, humidity, pressure and light etc and send them to a fusion center namely Base Station (BS) from where one can get the value of physical parameters at any time.Man cannot often recharge the batteries which supplies the sensing device, transceiver and memory unit in the sensor node.So the usage of the battery power must be judicious in WSN.Earlier attempts have been made to prolong the network lifetime, but still it is a challenging task.In this paper we optimize the energy consumption of WSN by clustering and fuzzy based next hop selection.
