An Effective Cluster Based Energy and Power Optimization Routing Protocol Design over Wireless Sensor Network Environment

Environmental monitoring, industrial automation, and smart communities are among the numerous applications in which Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are essential. Nevertheless, the effective management of energy and power resources continues to be a substantial obstacle, as sensor nodes are frequently deployed in large quantities and are battery-powered. This paper introduces the Power Optimized Routing Protocol (PORP), a novel cluster-based routing protocol that is intended to optimize energy and power consumption in WSN. The proposed scheme's efficacy is evaluated by cross-validating it with the conventional routing protocol, Dynamic Source Routing (DSR). The dynamic clustering mechanism that has been proposed in our protocol, PORP, minimizes energy consumption through intelligent methods of cluster formation and data aggregation. In this way, it further extends the network's lifecycle and reduces its average energy usage through energy-efficient and power-aware algorithms. We evaluated the effectiveness of our protocol through comprehensive simulation and compared our protocol with existing ones regarding energy efficiency, network lifetime, and data transmission reliability. The study proved to be very in-depth and comprehensive regarding the efficiency of the protocol, which highlighted the possibilities of the protocol's implementation with real-world WSN applications to ensure proper functioning of even more sustainable and efficient wireless sensor networks.
