Abstract

In wireless sensor networks, nodes have limited access to energy sources and must make efficient use of what they have. Energy consumption may be decreased and network life can be prolonged via the process of clustering. To reduce the network’s power consumption and increase its lifespan, we used a new clustering technique in this work. Centralized cluster formation and decentralized cluster heads form the basis of this stage of clustering. Clusters are determined via a centralized Gaussian mixture model (GMM) technique, and once they are generated, they don’t change. After that, it chooses which cluster heads (CHs) should spin. Inside those clusters to minimize energy consumption prior to the data transmission phase to the base station (BS), taking into account the varying quantities of energy in the nodes. Thus, the proposed approach not only effectively addresses the energy consumption problem, but also significantly lengthens the lifespan of the network. The results demonstrate the following ways in which the suggested method lessens the burden on network resources. It increases network lifetime by 301%, 131%, and 122%, decreases energy consumption by 20.53%, 6.14%, and 5%, and increases throughput by 47%, 9%, and 4% when compared to the Flat, FUCA, and FCMDE protocols.
