ERCA: Energy-Efficient Routing and Reclustering Algorithm for Cceftoextend Network Lifetime in WSNS

The pervasive application of wireless sensor networks (WNSs) is challenged by the scarce energy constraints of sensor nodes. En-route filtering schemes, especially commutative cipher based en-route filtering (CCEF) can saves energy with better filtering capacity. However, this approach suffer from fixed paths and inefficient underlying routing designed for ad-hoc networks. Moreover, with decrease in remaining sensor nodes, the probability of network partition increases. In this paper, we propose energy-efficient routing and re-clustering algorithm (ERCA) to address these limitations. In proposed scheme with reduction in the number of sensor nodes to certain thresh-hold the cluster size and transmission range dynamically maintain cluster node-density. Performance results show that our approach demonstrate filtering-power, better energy-efficiency, and an average gain over 285% in network lifetime.
