A hybrid and energy saving approach for hierarchical routing protocol using SEP-VD

A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) plays a very important role within the future wireless communication domain due to its intelligence, low cost and small size. With the wireless interfaces, these will communicate with one another just in case of cooperative communication in single or multiple hops. Multiple nodes are required for co-operative communication where the Stable Enable Protocol (SEP) and SEP — Vector Quantization (SEP-V) is used for cluster and active cluster head (CH) formation. Further Dijkstra Algorithm is used to find the shortest path between the active cluster heads (CHs) and high energy utilization respectively. The main issue of inter-cluster communication is carried out in earlier work using SEP and SEP-V protocols. The proposed work illustrates the SEP-Vector Quantization Dijkstra (SEP-VD) protocol, for shortest path active cluster head (CH) communication on a Cooperative communication network. From the applications point of view, SEP-VD determines the lowest energy path. SEP-V provides the intra-cluster communication between the cluster head and nodes. Using Dijkstra's Algorithm, the minimum distance is calculated connecting the active cluster heads which creates the shortest path resulting in energy efficient technique. Further the spectral distortion of the proposed technique has been analyzed for practical implementation.
