BPSA (Back Propagation Sleep Awake) Clustering Protocol for Energy Optimization of Wireless Sensor Networks

A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) contains of bitsy/slashed devices. These devices are known as sensor nodes. Sensor node has storage, sensing and communicating capacity. For energy optimization of sensor network concept of Hierarchical Routing protocol was used. This approach partitioned network into fixed size clusters of sensor nodes. Every cluster consists of cluster head, which is responsible for the transmission of data towards the base station. For improving network lifespan by energy optimization of sensor nodes this research proposes a Back Propagation Sleep Awake clustering (BPSP) protocol. For comparison purpose LEACH protocol is taking into consideration and for simulation based analysis was done with NS2 Simulator. For Simulation, the performance parameters energy consumption, delay, throughput and packet delivery were taken into consideration.
