Evaluating the Performance Using Hybrid Data Aggregation Method for Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

In WSN environment, energy and lifetime of the sensor nodes are important factors and it is need to utilize these factors efficiently. Data aggregation at the base station by individual sensor node causes flooding of the data which results in maximum energy consumption. To minimize this problem we propose the hybrid data aggregation method, where nodes are grouped based on available data and correlation in the intracluster and cluster heads are grouped at the network level help to reduce the energy consumption.Simulation result shows, proposed algorithm provides an improvement of energy consumption as compared with Forward aware factor.
