A bio inspired and trust based approach for clustering in WSN

Research paper on A bio inspired and trust based approach for clustering in WSN

Research Area:  Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract:

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is a special kind of ad-hoc network consists of battery powered low cost sensor nodes with limited computation and communication capabilities deployed densely in a target area. Clustering in WSN plays an important role because of its inherent energy saving capability and suitability for highly scalable network. This paper is an extended version of our previous work (Sahoo et al. 2013a). Although the clustering strategy presented in this paper is same as our previous work but here a light weight dynamic TRUST model along with honey bee mating algorithm is presented, which will only prevent malicious node to be a cluster head. The choice of light weight TRUST model makes our clustering method more secure and energy efficient, which are most pivotal issues for resource constrained sensor network. We have also introduced a priority scheme among the trust metrics which is more realistic. Furthermore, the use of honey bee mating algorithm finds most appropriate node as cluster head. Simulation results are also presented here to compare the performance of our algorithm with low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy and advertisement time-out driven bee mating approach to maintain fair energy level in sensor networks.
