Abstract
Wireless sensor network contains a huge volume of sensors that are capable of observing environmental data and conveying that information to the base station. The zone routing is a way to group sensors into multiple clusters in sensing field. In general, each zone has a single co-ordinator that operates as a zone head and accountable to collect the data from all sensors inside the zone and then forward it to the base station. Clustering and energy efficient path construction to base station is a major issue in sensor networks. This paper concentrates on clustering the sensing field into zones and further splitting it into zone quadrants to maximize the energy efficiency of sensor nodes with minimum delay transmission time. An “Energy Minimized optimal zone selection of Sensor Networks to build the Data Path” protocol is proposed in this paper to minimize the load on zone heads by using the zone coordinators to gather the information from different quadrants of zone. Distance-based communication with the minimum hop is opted to minimize the energy cost. A critical evaluation is carried out on the proposed protocol in the context of total energy consumption of network and average energy consumed per node, lifetime of the Network, delay in reception of packet and packet delivery ratio. The results of our research work and analyzed and benchmarked against similar protocols using Network Simulator 2. The outcome of this research is a reduced delay in packet processing with low energy consumption which significantly increases lifetime of sensor network.
