Abstract

The wireless sensor network (WSN) is the decentralized and self-configuring type of network in which tiny sensor nodes are free to link the network at any time. The sensor nodes are very small in size and use wireless mode for communicating with each other. Due to far deployment of the network and small size of sensor nodes, energy consumption is the major issue of WSN. Now-a-days there are several applications that have been deploying these networks. In this research work, the multi-level hierarchical routing protocol is improved to increase the lifetime of WSNs. In this proposed work, fuzzy logic has been used to map the multiple input parameters and generate a specified output. The simulation of the proposed routing protocol is done in MATLAB. In the proposed approach, the cache nodes are used for the data transmission which reduces the number of dead nodes in the network. It is analyzed that the number of dead nodes are reduced and the number of alive nodes are increased in the network.
