2. APPLICATIONS OF WSN
There are various applications of Wireless sensor network. In military areas the sensors are
deployed to detect intruders and also monitoring of their activities can be done with the
information retrieved from sensors. In environmental applications these sensor network
significantly perform the task of forest fire detection, flood detection, earthquake detection,
monitoring volcano eruption and many more. In habitat monitoring and Medical applications
these sensor network have been in hot spot in their applicability.
3. WIRELESS SENSOR NODE
Wireless sensor node is employed on the basis of its applicability. It consists of ADC which
converts the analog signals into digital signals and then they are fed into the processing unit.
Processing unit allows the sensor node to collaborate with other nodes for performing the
assigned task. A transceiver unit does the task of transmission and reception of data. Power is the
most important component of WSN.
Fig 1 Architecture of Sensor Node[1]
The basic architecture of sensor node has been shown in Fig.1
4. CLUSTER FORMATION
In order to make data aggregation more efficient in a network, nodes are grouped into a number
of small groups called clusters. In each cluster one sensor node is selected as cluster head which
performs the task of data collection from various nodes and thereby forwarding it further. This
clustering scheme increases the life time of network by minimizing unbalancing of energy load
throughout the network [7]. The significant advantage of clustering is the scalability that it
provides to the network.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/1114csij03-180614060051/85/Energy-Efficient-Zone-Divided-and-Energy-Balanced-Clustering-Routing-Protocol-EEZECR-in-Wireless-Sensor-Network-2-320.jpg)

5. ZONE DIVISIONAL NETWORK
In this whole network is divided into different zones [10]. Zone number is assigned according to
the distance from the Base station. In every zone there can be any number of clusters depending
upon the number of nodes being employed. The size of zone 1, i.e nearer to Base station will be
smaller than then the zone 2 and so on. It is done to conserve the energy for data forwarding.
The Zone number is allotted by the equation (1).
( ) = [( _ − _ ) )⁄ ] + 1 (1)
Here Z(i) is the zone number, di_bs is the distance of node from the BS, di_min is the minimum
distance of node from BS.
5.1 Network Model
It is assumed that sensor node deployment is randomly uniform in a square area. Assumption is
made that all nodes in the network has the following properties:
I. All nodes are considered to be static, which means there is no movement of nodes once
they are deployed. The main objective of sensor network is that nodes collect data from
the environment periodically and send to the base station.
II. All the nodes are same and have the same initial energy at the beginning.
III. Each node is having the ability to merge the redundant data. All sensor nodes are
assumed to have limited batteries and recharging them is really infeasible.
IV. Nodes do not posses any GPS equipment and their relative distances are calculated on the
basis of received signal strength.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/1114csij03-180614060051/85/Energy-Efficient-Zone-Divided-and-Energy-Balanced-Clustering-Routing-Protocol-EEZECR-in-Wireless-Sensor-Network-3-320.jpg)

5.3.1 Initialization of Parameters
There are some experimental parameters are shown in table 5.3
Table 5.3 Experimental Parameters [22]
This table gives the values of different parameters like Network Coverage, BS location, Node
number, Initial energy of nodes before deploying, Eelec which represents the energy consumption
of transmit or receive 1 bit message. Eda which represents the energy consumption of merging 1
bit message. do is the threshold value of the distance required to determine whether its free space
channel model or it is multi path fading channel model.
5.3.2 Deployment of sensor nodes
The deployment of sensor node is done randomly throughout the network by maintaining
uniform density and location of sensor node is also defined randomly. The number of sensor
nodes to be deployed is 100 and they are being deployed in (100 X 100) m area.
5.3.3 Zone division
In this zone divisional approach network is divided into different zones according to the distance
and selection of cluster head in each zone is done independently. After the deployment of nodes,
Base station (BS) broadcast the zone divided message (Zone_Msg) in the whole area, including
the zone radius r in the message.
Nodes calculate their distance to the BS (di_bs) based on the received signal strength. The zone
number is distributed by the equation given below
( ) = [( _ − _ ) )⁄ ] + 1 (5.5)
So the minimum Zone number is 1 and if a zone is farther from BS, it will have a larger zone
number. Every node can get its zone number by the equation. As all nodes are static, so zone
division is done once after the nodes are deployed. Energy consumption in this phase can be
ignored as compare to energy in the long time.
Parameter Value

It has been done by using efficient way of selecting the cluster head on the basis of residual
energy and also average energy of the cluster is considered to forward the data so as to transmit it
to BS. In Fig the EEZECR is very close to ideal graph as compare to the ZECR. The declination
curve in the graph of ZECR shows unbalancing of the load in the network. The more steeper the
graph is, the more is the load balancing of the network. So this protocol (EEZECR) not only
reduce energy consumption in the network but also improve load balancing in the network which
makes it favorite for many applications.
8. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE
In the proposed work, dividing the network into different zones has simplified the network
topology. It has considered unequal clustering method to solve the Hot spot problem. Results
show that energy efficiency has highly improved and lifetime of network is also increased to
more number of rounds. There has been tremendous improvement over LEACH protocol in
terms of network lifetime. The load balancing is effectively achieved with proposed EEZECR.
So more number of nodes will be available for same number of rounds, which thereby increases
the lifetime of network. So it can be concluded on the basis of results that the introducing the
double cluster head approach in zone divisional network enhances the energy efficiency of the
network and it also increases network life time with much more load balancing throughout in the
network. Future work will be focused on optimization of routing among nodes.

this routing protocol. I also express my humble gratitude to Mr. Yun Zou for his protocol ZECR
which helped us to build EEZECR which is more energy efficient and load balancing has been

INTRODUCTION A Wireless sensor networks are acting as a bridge to the physical world. Recent advancement in wireless sensor networks have led to many new protocols specifically designed for sensor networks where energy awareness has been an essential consideration. In wireless sensor network the energy of battery has been the most concerning issue as battery of sensor node is not feasible to replace once deployed. Since transceiver is the biggest consumer of energy in a sensor node, still transmission of data takes much stock of energy as compare to reception. To have efficient transmission of data, routing of data has to be made efficient among the nodes or from nodes to Base station. There are various routing protocols which have been developed to minimize the energy consumption among nodes. In this paper our research is focused to hierarchical routing protocols. In these protocols clustering of nodes is done and cluster head does the task of collection of data from various nodes and then forwarding it to further Base station. This paper is organized as follows: section 2 discuss the application of wireless sensor network. Section 3 presents the architecture of WSN node. In section 4 different deployment phase has been given. Section 5 discuss about clustering. Section 6 discuss about zone divisional network. Section 7 and section 8 gives the simulation results and conclusion respectively followed by reference listing.

In comparison with communication energy , the energy consumed on computing and storage process is much lower. Energy consumption on communication is considered for simplicity. ( , ) = + for d<do (5.1) ( , ) = + for d>do (5.2) and to receive this message the radio expends: ( ) = (5.3) To merge the number m such message the energy consumes: ( ) = (5.4) In Equations(5.1) , (5.2) and (5.3) , Eelec represents the energy consumption of transmit or receive 1 bit message. In equation (5.4) , Eda represents the energy consumption of merge 1 bit message. Here do shows the threshold value, when the distance is less than do , the free space channel model is used (d2 power loss) ; When the distance is more than do , the multi-path fading channel model (d4 power loss) is used. 5.3 EEZECR protocol The proposed work has been directed to make Zone Divided and Energy Balanced Clustering Routing Protocol (ZECR) more energy efficient by introducing the concept of “Double cluster heads” in a cluster. Zone divisional approach divides the network into different zones according to the distance from Base station. Zone number is computed for each zone according to the distance from Base station. Assistant cluster head (ACH) is introduced in each cluster which has residual energy less than energy of Main Cluster head (MCH). ACH will collect the data from all the nodes in the cluster and after removing redundant data it will forward to MCH. Then that cluster head forwards that data to Main Cluster head of adjacent cluster which is nearer to Base station. This will make the multi-hop transmission more energy efficient in inter-cluster communication. The load on Main Cluster Head (MCH) of each cluster will be reduced by assigning the task of data aggregation to Assistant Cluster Head (ACH), so that redundant data is removed by ACH and efficient data is transmitted to MCH and thereafter inter cluster communication routes the data to Base Station. The proposed algorithm includes following steps: 5.3.1 Initialization of parameters. 5.3.2 Deployment of sensor node 5.3.3 Zone Divison 5.3.4 Computation of size of cluster radius

The number of sensor nodes to be deployed is 100 and they are being deployed in (100 X 100) m area. 5.3.3 Zone division In this zone divisional approach network is divided into different zones according to the distance and selection of cluster head in each zone is done independently. After the deployment of nodes, Base station (BS) broadcast the zone divided message (Zone_Msg) in the whole area, including the zone radius r in the message.

Energy consumption in this phase can be ignored as compare to energy in the long time.

- 6. Circuits and Systems: An International Journal (CSIJ), Vol. 1, No. 1, January 2014 24 5.3.3 Computation of size of cluster radius After the network area is divided into zones, the next phase is to compute the cluster radius of each zone by using the equation = 1 − × ( ) × (5.6) Here Zmax denotes the maximum zone number in the area and Z(i) denotes the zone number of node i. In the equation Rmax is the maximum competition cluster radius, c is constant coefficient between 0 and 1. The optimum value of c is given as 0.4. In the equation Rmax is optimum cluster radius calculated by the equation = = 2 × ( ) (5.7) In this protocol, the cluster radius in the same zone is same which reduces the complexity of the algorithm. 5.3.5 Cluster set up phase Once all the nodes get their zone number and cluster radius, the cluster set-up phase begins.There are following steps which comes under the cluster set up phase. 5.3.5.1 Structure of Node Message: Each node maintains a neighbor node table Table_Node and broadcast their own information Node_MSG in the range of cluster radius. The structure of Node_Msg is as Table 5.3.5: Table 5.3.5 Structure of Node_Msg ID Energy Zone 1 0.37J 1 2 0.46J 1 3 0.32J 2 4 0.42J 2 5 0.48J 3 Where ID is unique identifier of node in the network, Energy is the residual energy of node and Zone is the zone number of node. Each node only receives message that comes from the same zone, ignores the others and updating of table is done accordingly. 5.3.5.2 Main Cluster head selection In the proposed routing protocol, main cluster head selection is done on the basis of residual energy of each node in the cluster. The average energy of all the nodes in a cluster is calculated and that value is used as threshold. If a node has energy greater than threshold only that node is
- 7. Circuits and Systems: An International Journal (CSIJ), Vol. 1, No. 1, January 2014 25 eligible to participate in main cluster head election competition. The energy of node is computed with the equation given below = (∑ ) − 1 (5.8) Among the equation, Eoi indicates the initial energy, n indicates the number of nodes within the scope of adjacent nodes, ∑Eoj indicates the sum of other nodes’ energy. If T>1, node i is eligible to participate in the election of main cluster head. So node with the highest residual energy is declared as main cluster head. 5.3.5.3. Assistant cluster head selection After selection of Cluster head, the selection of Assistant cluster head (ACH) is done similarly on the basis of residual energy, node with the minimum difference in the residual energy with the cluster head is selected as ACH. Equation to be followed for selection of ACH is given by 1 1 ( ) ( ( ) ( )) 2 ( ) 3 ( )n j q Ec i Eo i Ec i Qi q T i q dist Ec i n= × × − = + × + × ∑ ……..(5.9) Here q1, q2 and q3 are non negative weight value factors, Ec(i) is the current energy, Eo(i) is the initial energy, T(i) is the times of being cluster head and dist as the distance from the base station, Q(i) is used for obtaining the likelihood of node to be cluster head. 5.3.5.4 Data Transmission Stage The task of data transmission is done in the intra cluster and inter-cluster communication. i. Intra cluster communication: In this stage, data is transmitted from sensor nodes to Base station via ACH and MCH, through single hop if the cluster is nearest to Base station, multi-hop if there is another cluster nearer to base station. TDMA scheduling is used for transmission of data from each node (other than MCH) to ACH. Data is transmitted from nodes to ACH then to MCH in a cluster of a zone then to next zone and finally data reaches to the Base station from various zones. ii Inter-cluster multi-hop routing phase: This protocol adapts to multi-hop strategy in inter clustering routing phase. In this the cluster head of sufficient energy is selected for multi-hop transmission, for this overall energy of cluster is considered so that there might not be the chance of selecting the cluster head of low energy cluster region.
