Coordinate-Oriented Clustered Chain Based Routing Protocol (COCCBRP) for Wireless Sensor Network

Wireless sensor networks employ a variety of techniques such as data recycling, power management, and energy-aware routing protocols to reduce power consumption. Clustering is a well-known approach for extending the life of a network. It is an approach to divide the network into small groups and high-powered nodes are elected as Cluster Heads (CHs)for each group. This paper presents Coordinate-Oriented Clustered Chain Based Routing Protocol (COCCBRP), where the cluster is created along with X and Y-coordinates into equal size. Three phases make up the COCCBRP protocol's operation: chain construction, chain head selection, and head rotation mechanism. According to the distance and energy level, the criteria value of each node is determined and the node with the highest criteria value is chosen as the Chain Head. The performance of implemented work is compared with the existing CCBRP protocol. According to the findings of the simulation, the purposed strategy COCCBRP increases lifetime and reduces energy consumption as compared to the CCBRP protocol.
