Advertisement timeout driven bee's mating approach to maintain fair energy level in sensor networks ?
In wireless sensor network, dynamic cluster-based routing approach is widely used. Such practiced approach, quickly depletes the energy of cluster heads and induces the execution of frequent re-election algorithm. This repeated cluster head re-election algorithm increases the number of advertisement messages, which in turn depletes the energy of overall sensor network. Here, we proposed the Advertisement Timeout Driven Bee's Mating Approach (ATDBMA) that reduces the cluster set-up communication overhead and elects the standby node in advance for current cluster head, which has the capability to withstand for many rounds. Our proposed ATDBMA method uses the honeybee mating behaviour in electing the standby node for current cluster head. This approach really outperforms the other methods in achieving reduced number of re-election and maintaining fair energy nodes between the rounds.
