A Traffic Aware Intra-Cluster Communication Mechanism for Wireless Sensor Networks
Amit Karmaker, Mahedee Hasan, Mohammad Shah Alam · 2018
In this paper, a traffic load based intra-cluster communication mechanism is proposed that utilizes the feature of CSMA and TDMA for reservation of slot and data transmission respectively. A simulation model using OMNeT ++ is developed to compare the performance of the proposed approach with the pioneer clustering approach LEACH and contemporary hybrid clustering protocol. Simulation results show that the proposed approach improves overall performance in terms of end to end delay, network lifetime, and throughput.
