An Effective Strategy for Cluster Formation and Management via Modified Clustering based Routing Algorithm for WSN

The modified clustering-based routing algorithm is a powerful and reliable routing algorithm for wireless sensor networks. It is based on the clustering algorithm and is specifically designed to route packets efficiently in dense, multi-hop wireless sensor networks. The main features of this algorithm include its robustness to node failure, load balancing and efficient use of resources. The algorithm first divides the network into multiple clusters. In each cluster, a cluster head is elected by using a distributed weighted average algorithm. All other nodes within the cluster are assigned as cluster members. The algorithm then proceeds by establishing a multi-hop routing tree using the shortest path routing technique and connecting each cluster head to the base station. As the algorithm runs, it periodically monitors each cluster to make sure that the network remains connected and optimized. The modified algorithm also uses a dynamic backpressure algorithm for congestion control. The algorithm helps to reduce the data packet errors and packet loss rate significantly. This algorithm also helps in improving the performance of the WSN by providing an efficient and reliable data transmission.
