TEEN — V: A solution for intra-cluster cooperative communication in wireless sensor network

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has amassed as a promising tool in various research applications. Since the sensors are constrained by battery power, so lifetime of the network and the energy efficiency becomes a challenging for WSN. To solve this problem many clusters-based routing protocols are proposed like LEACH, TEEN, SEP. This paper deals with Threshold Sensitive Energy Efficient Network Protocol (TEEN) which is a reactive cluster based protocol. It is specially designed for critical application of time. As multiple nodes are required for cooperative communication, TEEN Protocol is used for cluster formation. Further Vector Quantization (VQ) is used for analysis of low energy path for the nodes and clusters respectively. The main issue of inter cluster node communication is carried out in earlier work using TEEN protocol. The proposed technique illustrates the TEEN-Vector Quantization (TEEN-V) protocol, for intra-cluster communication in a cooperative communication network. As per the application point of view, TEEN-V performs the lowest energy path for intra cluster communication. TEEN provides the optimum cluster size and their cluster head and using VQ, the minimum distance is calculated using Euclidean distance between the multiple cluster heads which creates the shortest path results in energy efficient technique. Further the spectral distortion of the proposed technique has been analysed for practical implementation.
