A Distributed Cluster Based Protocol to Extend Lifetime using Fitness Function algorithm in Wireless Sensor Networks

Cluster networks are very essential in the field of WS networks to cut down the energy ingestion in overall nodes present in distributed randomized networks. Clustering approach is more appropriate technique for energy efficient processes to extend their lifetime with a balanced network. The assortment of Cluster-Heads in a distributed network is the dominant task for all researchers. The major factors that influence sensor nodes are that they are malfunctioning due to power reduction, environmental hazards, interference, communication links, collisions, and a few more. Multi-hop communication is used to improve data gathering by reducing the distance among neighbouring nodes. To overcome and balance these problems, a distributed cluster-based routing protocol (DCBRP) using fitness functions as a prototype has been proposed by heuristic methodology. This new DCBRP protocol is simulated using a MATLAB tool and compared with the existing protocol based on performance evaluation metrics like packet delivery ratio, active nodes, throughput, and network life-time.
