This document summarizes a routing protocol called the Virtual Grid Based Routing Protocol (VGRP) that aims to maximize the lifetime of wireless sensor networks by balancing the data traffic load evenly among sensor nodes. The VGRP splits the sensor field into a grid of equal sized sub-cells and uses clustering and chain techniques to collect sensed data. It is compared to the CFDASC routing protocol through simulation, and results show VGRP outperforms CFDASC in terms of network stability and load balancing. The document provides background on wireless sensor networks and reviews several related grid-based and load balancing routing protocols.
Low cost smart weather station using Arduino and ZigBeeTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
This paper presents low cost-effective weather station with monitoring system by using ZigBee communication technique that serves as a communication channel by using hardware and sensors to transmit and receive data in the weather station system. Using ZigBee over the Bluetooth for the short coverage distance about (1-10 m) and over the (WLAN) (wireless local area network) or Wi-Fi, a WLAN has limitation like delay, lacking BW of the handover of a large amount of data, and some areas have no internet coverage. The system includes implementation and design for the weather station using Arduino Uno board and five sensors gives sixth reading data (rain state, wind level, air pressure, dust density, temperature and humidity). The data can be stored in SD card on receiving (clouding and main processing side) from more than one transmitter node (ZigBee Network). It can be retrieved the data in any time and date. Results showed the system has no delay and the data reputedly changing ever second with the new reading.
Intelligent fire detection and alert system using labVIEWIJECEIAES
Fire detection systems are designed to discover fires and allow the safe evacuation of occupants as well as protecting the safety of emergency response personnel. This paper describes the design and development of a fire detection and alert system. Temperature and flame sensors are used to indicate the occurrence of fire. This work consists of two parts, which are transmitter and receiver, both using ZigBee wireless technology. Arduino Uno is used as the microcontroller at the transmitter part to control the sensor nodes and give alert when over temperature and flame are detected. At the transmitter, the collected data from the sensors are transmitted by an XBee module operated as router node. At the receiver side, an XBee coordinator module which is attached to a computer using USB to serial communication captured the data for further processing. In addition, an interactive and user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) is developed. LabVIEW software is used to design the GUI which displays and analyze the possibility of fire happening. The system can display the fire location and provides early warning to allow occupants to escape the building safely.

Energy Efficient Data Aggregation in Wireless Sensor Networks: A Surveyijsrd.com
The use of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is anticipated to bring lot of changes in data gathering, processing and dissemination for different environments and applications. However, a WSN is a power constrained system, since nodes run on limited power batteries which shorten its lifespan. Prolonging the network lifetime depends on efficient management of sensing node energy resource. Energy consumption is therefore one of the most crucial design issues in WSN. Hierarchical routing protocols are best known in regard to energy efficiency. By using a clustering technique hierarchical routing protocols greatly minimize energy consumed in collecting and disseminating data. To prolong the lifetime of the sensor nodes, designing efficient routing protocols is critical. In this paper, we have discussed various energy efficient data aggregation protocols for sensor networks.

Cluster-Based Routing Protocols is a renowned scheme to extend the lifetime and energy consumption simultaneously for the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). Every sensor node work homogenously or heterogeneously which is energy constrained when energy and memory capacity is limited. Congregating information resourcefully in perilous situations in the sensor network for a large-scale area and huge time is required an effectual protocol. In this paper, we proposed a cluster-based hierarchical routing path protocol, namely SOM-PEG protocol, which is a modified PEGASIS protocol based on traditional
PEGASIS with the employment of Self Organizing Map (SOM) neural network (NN). The simulation is performed on MATLAB simulation tool as well as NN GUI. The performance comparison shows that the proposed protocol provides better network lifetime and ensures less energy consumption compared with
traditional PEGASIS protocol.
Throughput analysis of energy aware routing protocol for real time load distr...eSAT Journals
Abstract Wireless sensor network (WSNs) are self-organized systems that depend on highly distributed and scattered low cost tiny devices. These devices have some limitations such as processing capability, memory size, communication distance coverage and energy capabilities. In order to maximize the autonomy of individual nodes and indirectly the lifetime of the network, most of the research work is done on power saving techniques. Hence, we propose energy-aware load distribution technique that can provide an excellent data transfer of packets from source to destination via hop by hop basis. Therefore, by making use of the cross-layer interactions between the physical layer and the network layer thus leads to an improvement in energy efficiency of the entire network when compared with other protocols and it also improves the response time in case of network change. Keywords:- wireless sensor network, energy-aware, load distribution, power saving, cross layer interactions.

Energy efficient data communication approach in wireless sensor networksijassn
Wireless sensor network has a vast variety of applications. The adoption of energy efficient cluster-based
configuration has many untapped desirable benefits for the WSNs. The limitation of energy in a sensor
node creates challenges for routing in WSNs. The research work presents the organized and detailed
description of energy conservation method for WSNs. In the proposed method reclustering and multihop
data transmission processes are utilized for data reporting to base station by sensor node. The accurate use
of energy in WSNs is the main challenge for exploiting the network to the full extent. The main aim of the
proposed method is that by evenly distributing the energy all over the sensor nodes and by reducing the
total energy dissipation, the lifetime of the network is enhanced, so that the node will remain alive for
longer times inside the cluster. The result shows that the proposed clustering approach has higher stable
region and network life time than Topology-Controlled Adaptive Clustering (TCAC) and Low-Energy
Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) for WSNs.

Scheduling different types of packets, such as
real-time and non-real-time data packets, at sensor nodes with
resource constraints in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is of
vital importance to reduce sensors’ energy consumptions and endto-end
data transmission delays. Most of the existing packetscheduling
mechanisms of WSN use First Come First Served
(FCFS), non pre-emptive priority and pre-emptive priority
scheduling algorithms. These algorithms incur a high processing
overhead and long end-to-end data transmission delay due to the
FCFS concept, starvation of high priority real-time data packets
due to the transmission of a large data packet in non pre-emptive
priority scheduling, starvation of non-real-time data packets due
to the probable continuous arrival of real-time data in preemptive
priority scheduling, and improper allocation of data
packets to queues in multilevel queue scheduling algorithms.
Moreover, these algorithms are not dynamic to the changing
requirements of WSN applications since their scheduling policies
are predetermined.
In the Advanced Multilevel Priority packet scheduling
scheme, each node except those at the last level has three levels of
priority queues. According to the priority of the packet and
availability of the queue, node will schedule the packet for
transmission. Due to separated queue availability, packet
transmission delay is reduced. Due to reduction in packet
transmission delay, node can goes into sleep mode as soon as
possible. And Expired packets are deleted at the particular node
at itself before reaching the base station, so that processing
burden on the node is reduced. Thus, energy of the node is saved.
Maximizing Lifetime of Homogeneous Wireless Sensor Network through Energy Eff...CSCJournals
The objective of this paper is to develop a mechanism to increase the lifetime of homogeneous wireless sensor networks (WSNs) through minimizing long range communication, efficient data delivery and energy balancing. Energy efficiency is a very important issue for sensor nodes which affects the lifetime of sensor networks. To achieve energy balancing and maximizing network lifetime we divided the whole network into different clusters. In cluster based architecture, the role of aggregator node is very crucial because of extra processing and long range communication. Once the aggregator node becomes non functional, it affects the whole cluster. We introduced a candidate cluster head node on the basis of node density. We proposed a modified cluster based WSN architecture by introducing a server node (SN) that is rich in terms of resources. This server node (SN) takes the responsibility of transmitting data to the base station over longer distances from the cluster head. We proposed cluster head selection algorithm based on residual energy, distance, reliability and degree of mobility. The proposed method can save overall energy consumption and extend the lifetime of the sensor network and also addresses robustness against even/uneven node deployment.
Energy efficient routing in wireless sensor network based on mobile sink guid...IJECEIAES
In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the minimization of usage of energy in the sensor nodes is a key task. Three salient functions are performed by WSNs’ sensor nodes namely data sensing, transmitting and relaying. Routing technique is one of the methods to enhance the sensor nodes battery lifetime. Energy optimization is done by using one of the heuristic routing methods for data sensing and transmission. To enhance the energy optimization mainly concentrated on data relaying. In this work stochastic hill climbing is adapted. The proposed solution for data relaying utilizes geographical routing and mobile sink technique. The sink collects the data from cluster heads and movement of the sink is routed by stochastic hill climbing. Experimentation is done on the network simulator 2 Platform. The existing routing techniques like threshold sensitive energy efficient sensor network, energy-efficient low duty cycle, and adaptive clustering protocol are compared with the obtained results of chosen algorithm. The proposed work shows promising results with respect to lifetime, average energy of nodes and packet delivery ratio.
ENERGY EFFICIENT AGGREGATION WITH DIVERGENT SINK PLACEMENT FOR WIRELESS SENSO...ijasuc
In WSN the data aggregation is a means for condensing the energy requirement by reducing number of
transmission by combining the data and sending the final required result to the base station. The lifetime
of the WSN can be improved by employing the aggregation techniques. During the process of aggregation
the numbers of transmission are reduced by combining the similar data from the nearby areas. By using
the clustering technique and aggregating the correlated data greatly minimize the energy consumed in
collecting and disseminating the data. In this work, we evaluate the performance of a novel energy
efficient cluster based aggregation protocol (EECAP) for WSN. The main focus in this proposed work is
to study the performance of our proposed aggregation protocol with divergent sink placements such as
when sink is at the centre of the sensing field, corner of the sensing field or at a location selected
randomly in the sensor field. We present experimental results by calculating the lifetime of network in
terms of number of sensing rounds using various parameters such as – average remaining energy of
nodes, number of dead nodes after the specified number of sensing rounds. Finally the performance of
various aggregation algorithms such as LEACH, SEP and our proposed aggregation protocol (EECAP)
are compared with divergent sink placements. The simulation results demonstrates that EECAP exhibits
good performance in terms of lifetime and the energy consumption of the wireless sensor networks and
which can be as equally compared with existing clustering protocols.
NEW APPROACH TO IMPROVING LIFETIME IN HETEROGENEOUS WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS ...chokrio
The major challenge for wireless sensor networks is energy consumption minimization. Wireless transmission consumes much more of energy. In the clustered network, a few nodes become cluster heads which causes the energetic heterogeneity. Therefore the behavior of the sensor network becomes very unstable. Hence, the need to apply the balancing of energy consumption across all nodes of the heterogeneous network is very important to prevent the death of those nodes and thereafter increase the
lifetime of the network. DEEC (Distributed Energy Efficient Clustering) is one of routing protocols
designed to extend the stability time of the network by reducing energy consumption. A disadvantage of
DEEC, which doesn’t takes into account the cluster size and the density of nodes in this cluster to elect the
cluster heads. When multiple cluster heads are randomly selected within a small area, a big extra energy
loss occurs. The amount of lost energy is approximately proportional to the number of cluster heads in this
area. In this paper, we propose to improve DEEC by a modified energy efficient algorithm for choosing
cluster heads that exclude a number of low energy levels nodes due to their distribution density and their
dimensions area. We show by simulation in MATLAB that the proposed approach increases the number of
received messages and prolong the lifetime of the network compared to DEEC. We conclude by studying
the parameters of heterogeneity that proposed technique provides a longer stability period which increases
by increasing the number of nodes which are excluded from the cluster head selection.
A LOW-ENERGY DATA AGGREGATION PROTOCOL USING AN EMERGENCY EFFICIENT HYBRID ME...IJCNCJournal
Recent wireless sensor network focused on developing communication networks with minimal power and cost. To achieve this, several techniques have been developed to monitor a completely wireless sensor network. Generally, in the WSN network, communication is established between the source nodes and the destination node with an abundant number of hops, an activity which consumes much energy. The node existing between source and destination nodes consumes energy for transmission of data and maximize network lifetime. To overcome this issue, a new Emergency Efficient Hybrid Medium Access Control (EEHMAC) protocol is presented to reduce consumption of energy among a specific group of WSNs which will increase the network lifetime. The proposed model makes a residual battery is utilized for effective transmission of data with minimal power consumption. Compared with other models, the experimental results strongly showed that our model is not only able to reduce network lifetime but also to increase the overall network performance.

This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10

EEGDG [5] is a grid-based routing algorithm that combines
clustering and chain techniques which make it considered as
hybrid routing algorithm. EEGDG algorithm presented to be an
energy efficient and consequently, prolong the lifetime of
wireless sensor networks by decreasing the hops happened in
the standard chain routing algorithms like PEGASIS [6]. In
spite of the fact that EEGDG algorithm could achieve its target
by increasing the network lifetime but it did not make an
optimal solution for the delay in data delivering that occur due
to the long chain.
An energy efficient load balancing algorithm (EELBC)
presented in [7] depending on clustering to gain longer lifetime
and load balanced WSNs. In this algorithm, it is assumed that
each sensor node is equipped with a GPS unit in order to be
aware of its position. EELBC works within two stages;
bootstrapping and clustering. This algorithm successfully
achieved longer lifetime and more load balanced wireless
sensor network but its main flaw is when they assumed that
there are supernodes to act as clusters heads which are less
energy-constrained compared with other nodes in the network
which act as clusters members. Therefore, this algorithm
cannot be considered flexible or applicable for many
applications since its complex assumptions that require optimal
situations.
GBDAS [8] divides the sensing field into a grid of cells,
each cell consists of a number of sensor nodes. GBDAS
algorithm operates in three phases; grid construction, chain
formation, and data transmission. The fundamental objective of
this algorithm is to decrease the number of dead nodes during
the network lifetime. This algorithm collects the sensed data
from by using a cell head for each individual cell the forming a
very long chain that includes all cell heads in order to gather
the sensed data for the entire network. After collecting the data
within the chain, a chain head which already selected based on
its residual energy will be responsible for sending the collected
data to the base station. This algorithm can be considered as a
successful algorithm for the applications that require a small
sensing area since the chain of cell-heads will be not so long
and consequently the delay in data gathering and delivering can
be compromised with less energy consumption. In contrast,
when the application requires a large sensing area, GBDAS
will show a big delay in data gathering and delivery due to the
very long chain of cell-heads.
In the mobile sink scheme, a virtual grid based dynamic
routes adjustment (VGDRA) is proposed to reduce the routes
construction cost of sensor nodes [9]. This algorithm divides
the sensing field into a number of uniform cells that depends
on the total number of sensor nodes. To calculate the desired
number of sub-cells and thus the number of cluster heads they
utilize the same heuristics of the LEACH algorithm [10] which
consider a 5% of the total number of sensor nodes. VGDRA
algorithm uses the nodes that have the least distance to the
center of each cell to operate as a cluster head. However the
technique of selecting the cluster head at each cell can
distribute energy consumption evenly among cluster members,
it makes the nodes located near the cells centers die very
quickly. Since the cluster head node consumes much more
energy than the normal members due to receiving and
aggregating data from all cluster members and then
transmitting the aggregated data to other cluster head in the
network. In addition to this issue, implementing a mobile sink
approach is not convenient for most of the application.
Enhanced chain-cluster based mixed routing algorithm (E-
CCM) [11] has introduced to maximize the lifetime and
minimize energy consumption of wireless sensor network. E-
CCM operates based on grid topology and works within two
stages; the initialization stage and transmission stage. E-CCM
algorithm considered as hybrid hierarchical routing algorithm
since it is built depending on chain and cluster techniques. This
algorithm achieves its goals perfectly by outperforms the
previous related work like the CCM algorithm [12]. Although
the E-CCM algorithm can only function with a uniformly
predetermined distribution of sensor nodes it is not designed to
be applicable for applications that require a random
distribution of sensor nodes.
Based on the study of literature, it can be seen that majority
of related work has focused on increasing the network lifetime
without taking in consideration balance the load evenly among
sensor nodes. Moreover, some of the previous algorithms used
complex assumption like supernodes (nodes with unrestricted
energy source).
III. PROBLEM STATEMENT
The architecture of wireless sensor network can be
described as a set ‘S’ of nodes. We assume that each sensor
node is aware of its location using a GPS unit. The goal of
using hierarchical schemes; chain, cluster, and hybrid, is to
create a virtual structure that facilitates and ease managing data
routing in wireless sensor networks. One of the goals of
hierarchical routing algorithms is load balancing among sensor
nodes.
Majority of Grid-based routing algorithms is directly or
indirectly rely on clustering technique. The goal of clustering is
to select a set of sensor nodes to be cluster heads that cover the
whole network. The cluster head would be responsible for
receiving and aggregating the sensed data from all cluster
members and then forward the aggregated data either to the
base station or to the next cluster head based on the routing
mechanism. Therefore, the cluster head consumes more energy
compared to the energy consumed by a normal cluster member.
The problem of load balancing happens when a group of
sensor nodes is repeatedly selected to operate as cluster heads.
As a result, those nodes will die very fast and the death of
nodes will cause empty gaps within the entire network. Those
gaps not only can affect the validity of the sensed data but also
can affect the communication of the WSNs which are mainly
built upon multi-hop communication. Thus, the proposed
algorithm aims to keep the load evenly distributed among
sensor nodes which lead to retain all sensor nodes alive and
functioning as long as possible.
IV. VGRP SCHEME
Here, will outline the characteristics of the proposed
approach Virtual Grid Based routing protocol (VGRP) which
aims to keep the robustness and validity of wireless sensor
network as long as possible by balancing the load evenly

among all sensor nodes. VGRP significance appears during the
selection of the node that collects and aggregate data from
other nodes to avoid overloading specific nodes rather than
others. VGRP algorithm tried to achieve this goal by utilizing
the factor of remaining energy of individual nodes to decide
upon their selection of being a cluster or chain head. The
closest related and highest comparable work like Chain-based
fast data aggregation algorithm based on suppositional cells
has gained a substantial performance in term of transmission
delay [13].
However, the remaining energy of each sensor node that
selected to act as a cluster or chain head has not taken into
consideration. Therefore, a node with almost depleted energy
might be selected to represent the head for a group of sensors
while a node with much higher energy operates as normal
member node that requires only a few amounts of energy to
transmit its data to the group head. The proposed algorithm
VGRP distribute the duty of being a group head (chain or
cluster) by taking into consideration its remaining energy. The
operation of the VGRP algorithm can be divided into two main
stages; virtual grid setup and data transmission.
A. Virtual Grid setup
The network topology is initialized based on dividing the
sensing field to a virtual grid topology with equal size cells.
The field axes are equally divided and numbered according to
the number of cells, which are located along each field-axis.
For instance, if there are three cells on the x-axis, then the x-
axis is numbered as 0, 1, 2 and if there are five cells then the
coordinate will be numbered as 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on.
Therefore, the numbers on the x-axis can be considered as the
column number while the numbers of the y-axis represent the
row numbers.
Fig. 1. Virtual grid construction
Each cell within the grid has a unique cell ID called (CID).
The group of sensor nodes that fall into a specific cell can
determine its unique cell-ID based on (1).
CID = [Cx, Cy] ()
Where Cx and Cy represent the cell coordinates on the x-
axis and y-axis respectively. Fig.1 clarifies an example of
sensing field divided into a virtual grid of 5 × 5 equal cells. For
instance, the IDs for the first row and from left to right IDs will
be [0,0], [1,0], [2,0], [3,0], [4,0] and so on so forth.
B. Head nodes selection and data transmission
In order to collect, aggregate, and send the sensed data to
the base station, nodes called cell-heads and chain heads act as
an intermediary between the non-head nodes and the base
station. At the first sensing round, all nodes have the same
energy hence cell-head nodes will be randomly selected. Then,
during the next sensing rounds, the node that has the
maximum residual energy will be functioning as the cell-head.
After the data get collected in the cell-head nodes, a chain
head is selected depending on the same basis of selecting the
cell-head, which will be responsible for gathering the data
vertically. The job of the head nodes is to collect the sensed
data from its nodes, aggregate with its own data and then
forward it either to the next head node using multi-hop
communication or send it directly to the base station. The
process of selecting cell-head nodes, forming a chain that
consists of a set of cell-head nodes, and finally select a chain
head for each individual chain is accomplished by the base
station. In VGRP algorithm, data transmission is done in steps;
within the individual cells (intra-cell data transmission) based
on clustering technique and between the cell-heads (inter-cell
data transmission) based on chain technique. Therefore, there
will be two types of head nodes which are cell-head and chain
head nodes. Fig.2 shows the flowchart of virtual-grid setup
process as well as the intra-cell communications.
Fig. 2. Flowchart of virtual-grid setup and the intra-cell communications
Intra-Cell Communications: The main structure of the
VGRP algorithm is to divide the sensing area to a virtual grid
with equal size cells. After constructing the grid and assigning
each sensor node to its corresponding cell, a cell head for each
group of nodes that belong to the same cell is selected based
on its remaining energy. The cell head takes charge of

gathering the sensed data packets from all non-head nodes that
belong to the same cell then aggregate it with its own data and
then forward it to the next cell-head node based on multi-hop
communications. Fig.3 illustrates network structure after
forming the grid of cells and selecting a head node for each
individual cell.
Fig. 3. Intra-cell communications
Inter-Cell Communications: When all data packets are
collected within the cell-head nodes, those head nodes will
form a chain that includes all cell-heads that fall in the same
column. Nodes with maximum remaining energy take the role
of being chain head of their respective chains. Data
transmission is done using the greedy algorithm like in pegasis
[6]. Each sensor node sends its own data packet to its neighbor
node (adjacent sensor node toward the chain head). The
neighbor node receives the data packet and aggregates it with
its own data packet then transmits it to its neighbor and so on
so forth till data are all collected in the chain head node. After
that, the chain head receives its neighbors' data, aggregates it
with its own data and then forwards it to the base station. Fig.4
clarifies the procedure of this process while Fig.5 is a
flowchart that demonstrates the vertical chains formation and
the inter-cell communications.
Fig. 4. Inter-cell communications
Fig. 5. Flowchart of vertical chains formation and inter-cell communications
V. NETWORK MODEL
The sensing field is represented by a 2-D area which is
equally partitioned into identical size cells. The base station is
fixed and placed outside, far from the sensing field. 50 and 100
sensor nodes respectively are distributed randomly over the
sensing area. In order to give comprehensive details about
network system model, it is divided into two main sections that
include the basic assumptions used in the simulation software
and energy model utilized to determine energy consumption
due to the transmitting of data packets.
A. Basic Assumptions
A number of basic assumption must be decided before
proceeding with the simulation.
• All nodes have awareness of their geographical location
based on GPS unit.
• All nodes are immobile after the deployment.
• All nodes are of homogeneous energy (all nodes
contains the same initial energy) [14].
• Each sensor node is aware of its remaining energy.
• The amount of energy consumption due to data transfer
from point X to point Y is the same as when the transfer
is from point Y to point X.
• Energy consumption due to aggregation of data packets
is equal to 5nJ/bit/packet [15].
For the first assumption, it is assumed that each sensor node
is aware of its location to help the sensor nodes to determine
the cell that they belong to and then organize themselves into
clusters within the corresponding cells. As the second
5. 2018 International Conference on Advanced Science and Engineering (ICOASE), Kurdistan Region, Iraq
231
assumption, the vast majority of wireless sensor networks
applications require stationary sensor nodes [16]. For the
simplicity of the simulation process, sensor nodes are assumed
homogeneous. Moreover, sensor nodes are aware of their
remaining energy and the location of the base station, then the
remaining energy factor can be utilized to make the decision of
choosing the cell-head nodes and later the decision of choosing
chain-head nodes.
B. Energy Model
In order to evaluate the consumption of energy due to data
transmission and receive, the first order radio transceiver is
used in this design [6], [11], [16], [17]. Equations (2) and (3)
are used to determine the energy cost due to data receiving and
due to data transmitting respectively.
Energy consumption due to data receiving
Erx(k)= Eelec × k ()
Energy consumption due to data transmission
ETx(k, d)= Eelec × k + Eamp × k × d
()
Where Eelec represents the energy required to run the
transmitter or the receiver, k represents the size of data packets,
Eamp stands for the amount of consumed energy to run the
amplifier, and d is the distance of transmission. Moreover,
there are some fixed parameters used through the simulation
process which is shown in Table I.

VI. RESULTS AND ANALYSIS
VGRP and CFDASC performance are evaluated based on
two crucial performance metrics; load balancing, and network
stability.
A. Load Balancing
The load balancing metric represents the proportion of the
residual energy of the entire network when the first node dies.
The performance of network evaluated based upon this metric
has an inverse relationship which means that the network with
minimum residual energy when the first node dies is the
network that shows the best load balancing [17], [18]. In other
words, when the first node of a network dies and the network
only has a few portions of the remaining energy. Consequently,
it means that the rest of all alive nodes have reached to the
minimum amount of energy that makes them alive. In addition,
it also means that they are almost dead not in the same round of
the first node but might die the next round or after a few rounds
(in maximum). Based on the above explanation, we can see
that when all nodes die at the same time or even at very close
period just because they consumed the same amount of energy
during their operation. Which also means that each sensor node
in the network has a burden of almost the same amount of a
load of data packets traffic.
The total residual energy of the entire network when the
first node dies using (50 × 50) m2
& (100 × 100) m2
sensing
area is shown in Table II and Table III respectively. The
routing algorithm with the lowest parameter has the best
performance in term of load balancing [17], [18].

VGRP 16.92 33.84%
CFDASC 29.62 59.24%
It can be clearly seen that the proposed algorithm VGRP
outperforms CFDASC algorithm in term of load balancing in
both (50 × 50) m2 & (100 × 100) m2 sensing area.
B. Stability period
Stability period of wireless sensor network represents the
period of time starting from the first sensing round till the
death of the first sensor node [17], [18]. Therefore, without
long-term stability period, more data could not be gathered
from the sensing field even if the network lifetime is high.
Because of that, extending the stability period is crucial for
many applications of wireless sensor networks. Fig.4 shows the
stability period of the sensor network using (50 × 50) m2
&
(100 × 100) m2
sensing area respectively.
Fig. 6. Stability period using different sensing area
6. 2018 International Conference on Advanced Science and Engineering (ICOASE), Kurdistan Region, Iraq
232
As demonstrated in Fig.6, VGRP algorithm shows better
performance in term of network stability period using different
sensing area. The improvement of VGRP over CFDASC
algorithm is almost 40.3% using (50 × 50) m2
sensing area
while it is about 51.5% using (100 × 100) m2
. Equation (4) is
used to determine the percentage of improvement VGRP over
CFDASC algorithm [11].
POI = (Second Value-First Value)/First Value×100% ()
Where POI stands for the percentage of improvement,
hence, in this performance metric, it shows the improvement
percentage in network stability period. The First value refers to
the sensing round when the first node dies using CFDASC
algorithm. Second value stands for the sensing round when the
first node dies using VGRP algorithm.
VII. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK
In this research, a Virtual Grid-Based routing protocol
(VGRP) has presented to maintain load balancing and increase
stability period of wireless sensor networks. VGRP algorithm
divides the sensing area to a grid of cells then treat each cell as
an independent cluster. It works within two stages; virtual grid
setup and data transmission. In addition, a sensor node, which
has maximum remaining energy, is selected to function as a
cluster head during intra-cell data transmission and inter-cell
data transmission. The evaluation process is done through a
simulation program using area (50×50) m2
& (100×100) m2
respectively to check the validity of the proposed algorithm
with different sensing area. Simulation results show that VGRP
algorithm outperforms CFDASC algorithm in both
performance metrics utilized in this study; network load
balancing and network stability period. Moreover, in term of
stability period, VGRP algorithm shows an improvement over
CFDASC algorithm about 40.3% and 51.5% using (50×50) m2
and using (100×100) m2
sensing areas respectively.
As part of our future work will try to implement the
proposed algorithm in real-life applications, specifically, in
home automation systems that involve sensors in their
operations [19]. In addition, the performance of the proposed
algorithm will be investigated using other performance metrics
such as end-to-end delay and network throughput. Moreover,
different communication approaches will be explored such as
Zigbee and LiFi technologies [20]
