Abstract

A main characteristic of wireless sensor network (WSN) is its limited battery power. Non-uniform energy depletion in WSN, leads to formation of energy holes in certain areas of network. For a uniform consumption of energy among sensor nodes, some points should be considered like the residual energy of the nodes, energy consumed in the communication and route length. In this work, the authors has achieved the uniform consumption of energy by using dissimilar transmission power levels for communication between cluster heads and the sink node, and for intra- cluster communication. Further, they have used ant colony optimization technique for routing between the base station and sensors which are not the member of any cluster. They have proposed dual transmission power levels and ant colony optimization based (DTP-ACO) protocol to improve the lifespan of the network. Results demonstrate that DTP-ACO protocol outperforms LEACH protocol in provisions of the life span, residual energy, packets sent to the base station and throughput of the network.
