Wireless Sensor Network for Battery Monitoring Uses Head Clustering Method and Sleep Scheduling

Nowadays, wireless sensor networks (wsn) have many implementations in agriculture, animal husbandry, education, and many more. To support the lifetime of wsn nodes to achieve battery-saving protocol, we propose the head cluster method. This protocol will reduce the power consumption in data transmission by using the concept of head cluster and cluster member. In this method, communication using the cluster head is only carried out by the group head to save energy consumed. Based on the simulation results, the network lifetime with the cluster head method can be increased compared to a single hop.
