DESIGN OF AN ENERGY-EFFICIENT COOPERATIVE VIRTUAL MIMO COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL BASED ON THE OLEACH PROTOCOL AND A GREEDY APPROACH.

This research paper proposes an innovative Energy-Efficient Cooperative Virtual Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) Communication Protocol to address the growing demand for energy-efficient communication in wireless networks. The protocol combines the OLEACH (Optimized Energy-Efficient Cluster Head) Protocol and a Greedy Approach to enhance energy efficiency, data rates, and interference mitigation in cooperative communication. The paper provides a comprehensive analysis, including equations and models, to demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed protocol compared to existing schemes. By integrating the OLEACH protocol with the Greedy Approach, the proposed protocol achieves optimal communication and minimizes energy consumption in wireless sensor networks. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol, called greedy-OLEACH, exhibits a high Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) in low signal-to-noise ratio scenarios, indicating its effectiveness. Furthermore, comparisons with other clustering protocols such as LEACH, greedy-LEACH, and OLEACH reveal that greedy-OLEACH outperforms in terms of data delivery performance and remaining energy levels. This indicates efficient energy management and increased network longevity. The proposed protocol is scalable, robust, and secure, making it a promising choice for future wireless sensor network deployments. Overall, the Energy-Efficient Cooperative Virtual MIMO Communication Protocol presented in this research paper addresses the need for sustainable and green communication solutions in wireless networks, providing enhanced energy efficiency, throughput, and network performance compared to existing protocols.
