In WSNs, sensor nodes can usually be characterized by mutually conflicting multiple criteria.
How to combine these multiple criteria and design the optimum cluster-based routing protocol is still a challenge to be solved.
Ri Man Gun, an institute head at the Faculty of Communications, has proposed a novel joint optimization uneven cluster-based routing protocol, using an integrated FCNP-VWA-ELECTRE in the whole processing of the cluster route establishment phase.
This protocol operates in a cluster-route establishment phase and a data gathering phase. In the cluster-route establishment phase, FCNP-VWA allocates relative weights to 6 criteria, and based on these weights, ELECTRE selects a Cluster Head (CH) node, enlists the Cluster Member (CM) nodes in the proper CH node, and selects a next hop CH node for inter-cluster communication.
The simulation results show that the proposed protocol is superior to the existing schemes in terms of network lifetime.
You can find the details in his paper “An Uneven Cluster-based Routing Protocol for WSNs using an Integrated FCNP-VWA-ELECTRE” in “9th International Conference on Computer and Communication Systems (ICCCS)” (EI).
