A Novel Energy Efficient Relay Node Placement Approach For WSN

  Qurat Ul Ain,  Amit Jain

Partitioning in wireless sensor network is an important aspect of research in wireless networks. Clusters or partitions in the network can be formed on the basis of either geographical area of the nodes or on the basis of some performance parameters. Also the nodes which form the cluster are either homogenous or heterogeneous in nature. In the proposed approach an objective function is proposed and and the relay nodes are placed in the network on the basis of the value of objective function. The results of the proposed approach are then compared with the CRAFT algorithm which uses polygon approach for placing the ferry nodes. The results also verify the algorithm and compared on the basis of performance parameters like residual energy, end to end delay and number of hops in the network. In the future machine learning must be implemented and compared with the existing approach.
