MSP: Max Stable Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs)

Wireless sensor networks are highly constrained networks, specifically by their limited energy. In this paper, we proposed the Max Stable Protocol (MSP) to prolong their life as max as possible. MSP is a one-hop non-clustering protocol for homogeneous wireless sensor networks. These characteristics are proved mathematically in a detailed study of the LEACH energy model, mostly used to modulate wireless sensor network communication operations. Simulation results prove that our MSP reaches the network max possible stable period, lifetime, with max throughput level compared to FBECS, E-CAFL, and LEACH-FC protocols. MSP succeeded in extending the network stable period by 315.625, 315.625, 287.258 %, and the lifetime by 245.340, 237.277, and 232.475% with a very high throughput level against FBECS, E-CAFL, and LEACH-FC, respectively.
