3. INTRODUCTION
• Sensor networks are highly distributed
networks of
small, lightweight wireless nodes, deployed in large numbers
to monitor the environment or system by the measurement of
physical parameters such as temperature, pressure, or relative
humidity.
• Sensors are made up of micro-electro mechanical systems
(MEMS) technology.
• Each node of sensor network consists of 3 subsystems:
 Sensor Subsystem
 Processing Subsystem
 Communication Subsystem

8. Types of Clustering
Intra-Cluster(within cluster)
• In a cluster, one node act as a
cluster head(CH) and rest of
the node act as a cluster
member(CM).
• CH is selected using Election
algorithm i.e. based on energy
consumption.
• If energy level of
CH<Threshold, then the new
CH selection.

11. Hierarchical Clustering Algorithm
• “ How to dynamically organize the sensor nodes into
WSN and route sensed information from field sensor to
remote base station?”
• Hierarchical Clustering Algorithm is divided into two
parts:
• Multilevel hierarchical approach in Dynamic Clustering
Election Algorithm(for efficient Cluster Head (CH) selection)
• Dynamic Energy Efficient Hierarchical Routing Algorithm(for
energy efficient routing)

12. Introduction of Dynamic and
multilevel Hierarchical clustering
The cluster formation is restructured based on the set
of nodes without losing its transmission power.
In Dynamic cluster algorithm, ID of node is set
according to its distance to the data sink.

14. Dynamic Clustering Election
Algorithm
• Step 1:
Let the value of Degree of Isolation σ, such as σ = 0.001 Set j = 1;
• Step 2:
While (E ( current CH) < certain threshold)
{
The current CH broadcasts a message to poll the residual energy
level of all its children;
When a sensor receives this message it will report the current
residual energy to its CH;
• Step 3:
The current CH selects the child with the maximum residual energy
as the new CH ; the new Ch changes the radio range to 2R and
broadcasts probing the new delivery node message to all neighbors.

15. Dynamic Clustering Election Algorithm
contd….
• Step 4 : If (sink node == original cluster && hopCount < hopCount of
original cluster)
{
Report its current battery residual energy and its path cost to original
sink ;
After the new CH receives the reply information;
}
• Step 5 : If (path_costold + costij * EREy < minPathCost)
{
minPathCost = path_costold + costij * EREy
}
15

16. Dynamic Clustering Election Algorithm
contd…
• Step 6 : Change the primary path to corresponding information
• If ( path_costnew > η* path_costold )
{
Initiate path-switching by sending a new probing message to probe
the path to another node;
}
• Step 7 : The new CH broadcast has selected the new delivery node in
its primary path, it will broadcast the new information to all children
in the old cluster.
• Step 8 : All of children in old cluster change its previous hop to the
NEW CH in its primary path.

17. Energy Efficiency
• Er the energy consumed in receiving the signal.
• The total amount of energy needed to be consumed in order to
send a packet over the one-hop distance is:
Ei = Eij + Er
where Ei is the energy of node i after sending data to node j;
• Eij is the path loss, which is simply the difference between the
transmission power used by i and the signal power received by j.
17

18. Dynamic Energy Efficient Hierarchical
Routing Algorithm
• Step 1: Split the number of regions based on the distance d.
• Step 2: Compute the node distance d & energy level Eelec (in Joules).
• Step 3: Select the CH based on the distance between the BS & the
other CH.
• Step 4: Set the cluster ID for all the clusters.
• Step 5: The entire cluster ID is maintained in the Base Station.
• Step 6: During topology discovery phase, a source node sends out a
route request packet, which is flooded to the BS. Each node along a
path also embeds its transmitting power and the cost of the path from
the source into packet sent to its next hop.

19. Dynamic Energy Efficient Hierarchical
Routing Algorithm contd..
• Step 7: Upon receiving the multiple copies of the route reply message,
the source finds out a few routes to reach the BS based on distance.
• Step 8: If none of the candidates meet the battery requirement, then
the BS is informed to lower the value of Bref (t)(reference value w.r.t
time) and the procedure repeats.
• Step 9: Once the route is established, the source start to send the data
to BS.
1. By using the reference, the selected routes are more
evenly distributed over the entire network so that the network lifetime
can be prolonged.
2. The Bs does not choose the final route because it does not know the
battery status of the node.
19

20. Dynamic Energy Efficient Hierarchical
Routing Algorithm contd..
3. The value of Bref (t) can be chosen by the BS in terms of the
estimation of the average power consumption per node at the current
time, which can be computed based on the observed total energy
consumption of the network.
• The Routing Table which is maintained in CH is shown in Table.

24. Conclusion
• Hierarchical clustering and routing algorithms will work efficiently
and reduces the energy consumption of sensor nodes.
• As the CH selection is important problem in sensor network, for this
cluster-based routing has been shown to be more energy efficient and
increase the network lifetime through data aggregation.
• The goal of selecting the CH is to minimize the transmission cost and
energy usage.
