Low Energy Consumption with Secure Routing in Wireless Sensor Network

Shireesh Bhoyar, N. A. Chavhan

Abstract: Wireless sensor nodes working together in the same environment cooperatively is called Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). WSN frequently monitors surrounding environment for physiological changes and conveys the collected information to Base Station (BS) or Sink through a network of interconnected nodes. Resource utilization is major design constraint with WSN. Dividing nodes into groups to form clusters is broadly used method for prolonging network lifetime since clustering is efficient method for minimizing energy consumption. The work proposes data density based multi level cluster policy to reduce energy consumption during clustering process. However merging Sec-AODV with multilevel clustering provides secure routing of data with nearly same amount of energy consumption.
