Lifetime Improvement of DEEC and DDEEC Protocols using Sleep Awake Mechanism in Wireless Sensor Networks

  Parneet Kaur,  Ameeta Seehra

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is an emerging technology nowadays. With its increasing demand, they are designed in such a way to perform more complex functions. But they still require the battery operated sensors to perform the various tasks. In WSNs, due to non uniform distribution of energy nodes in the network, some of the nodes drain out energy very quickly and consequently energy holes are created at few places in the network. These energy holes become the cause for data routing failure. In this paper, Sleep Awake Mechanism is appliedd to eradicate the energy holes. The sleep awake mechanism is applied on two heterogeneous protocols namely Distributed Energy Efficient Clustering (DEEC) and Developed DEEC (DDEEC) and then results are compared. Simulations results show that modified DEEC (mDEEC) and modified (DDEEC) enhance the network lifetime by 25.69% and 18.50% respectively as compared to DEEC and DDEEC and the throughput by 32.81% and 35.80% respectively.

Keywords- Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), Distributed Energy Efficient Clustering (DEEC), Developed DEEC (DDEEC).
