IMPROVED ENERGY EFFICIENCY in NS2

ABSTRACT
Due to the advancement of information and communication technologies, Internet of Things (IoT) devices has increased exponentially. In IoT, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) perform a vital part and comprise low-cost smart devices for information gathering. However, such smart devices have constraints in computation, processing, memory, and energy resources. Along with such constraints, one of the fundamental challenges for WSN is energy efficiency and scalability when the network is deployed in a large area. So, developing a robust and energy-efficient routing protocol is a challenging task to prolong the network lifetime. As the IoT becomes more complicated due to its large scale, the current wireless sensor networks’ cannot be applied directly to the IoT. This paper introduces a Scalable and energy efficient routing protocol (SEERP) in contrast to the state-of-the-art techniques. Our proposed protocol (SEERP) performs a multi-Region-based clustering framework to achieve the scalable and energy-efficient network. This framework network area has been divided into sub Regions (clusters), where the number of sub Regions is increased, resulting in network size increases to avoid long-distance communication.
