Minimizing Energy Hole Problem Comparisons in Some Hierarchical WSN Routing Protocols

This paper study the efficient use of energy as a challenging task of designing these protocols. The energy holes are created due to non-uniform node distribution in the network when quickly drain the energy in a few nodes. It is studies removing energy holes by using sleep and awake mechanism for sensor nodes to save energy. This approach finds the maximum distance nodes to calculate the maximum energy for data. It intends to enumerate the dead nodes transmission, alive nodes, throughput, overhead and packet delivery ratio consumed by the entire network and affected by the network area changes. lastly, a brief performance analysis of Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH), Distributed Energy-Efficient Clustering (DEEC), Threshold sensitive Energy Efficient sensor Network protocol (TEEN) and Stable Election Protocol (SEP) is carried out considering metrics of the previous characteristics of wireless sensor network.
