Abstract
The routing protocols are of great importance to researchers which deal with the QoS, energy consumption, network design and packet overhead. This paper describes a new method for efficient performance of wireless sensor networks concentrating on cluster design strategy. The proposed approach Water-Rippling Shaped Clustering (WARIS), is a hybrid approach applies to cluster the large-scale network which looks like the shape of water rippling. It considers the parameters like per node energy consumption, total network energy consumption, the number of designed clusters and their member nodes, and the time spent during cluster design for evaluating the performance of competing algorithms. Major achievements are improved cluster design, energy aware cluster head (CH) selection method and reducing re-clustering overhead. Simulation results prove the enhancements.
