Minimization of Power Consumption in ZigBee-Based Cluster Tree Wireless Sensor Network


Abstract in English

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have applications in many different areas of life, such as health care, environmental monitoring, and military and economic areas and in industrial automation and many other applications. The development of these networks and the improvement of their performance occupy an important place of interest in research centers and specialized scientific institutes. The interest in these structures as a way to improve the performance of these networks leads to good results in this area. The cluster structure is one of the most important structures that have received increasing attention over recent years. This research suggested a modification of the structure of the cluster tree WSN dividing clusters into sub-groups, and each group of these sub-groups operates like a tree from a small amount of nodes. The results that have been obtained by means of simulation indicate a significant improvement in terms of reducing energy consumption and thus an increase in the lifetime of the network, as compared to traditional cluster tree WSN. But that was at the expense of slightly lower rates of transmission and delivery ratio in the nodes of these networks. This leads us to recommend using this method to build the networks used to monitor protected agriculture and other networks with low transmission rates.
