RELIABLE MULTIHOP VORONOI LEACH FOR EFFICIENT WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK

Energy efficient processes are substantially important in Wireless Sensor Networks, especially in communication processes. In order to lower energy utilization on LEACH, Voronoi diagram-based clusters were presented that can bring a distance relationship among the given set of nodes. Multihop Voronoi LEACH was proposed to further reduce the communication energy expenditure between sensor nodes and cluster heads within Voronoi region. However, the method may often experience communication interruptions if the data to be transferred from sensor node to cluster head in high volumes or frequent data transfers. In this article, we propose an energy efficient wireless sensor network protocol called Reliable Multihop Voronoi LEACH, which is suitable for bulk data transfer in sensor network applications. Simulation results determine the performance of proposed method
