Cluster Based Hybrid Routing Protocol For Wireless Sensor Networks In Multi Hop Communication

Due to the rapid advancement in Wireless Sensor Network, it is very essential to focus on efficiency in performance of the sensor networks. We design a hybrid routing protocol for wireless sensor network with mobility consideration. The protocol selects the route by three factors; cluster formation, cluster head selection and determining the sink node position based on its load. Cluster head selection is based on the residual status of node regarding load and energy. This protocol improves the network performance and reduces the packet loss by removing the congested and constrained nodes from routing path. LEACH is Energy efficient hierarchical clustering protocol. It is designed for minimizing power utilization and for prolonging life of the network. Routing information is forwarded from cluster heads. Cluster heads are responsible for reducing energy utilized by the nodes present in the cluster. We propose CHRPM protocol is an extension of the existing energy efficient routing protocol LEACH designed for WSN. Thus this paper deals with the design and development of hybrid routing protocol for WSN with mobility in multi hop communication environment
