Fusion protocol for improving coverage and connectivity WSNs

Abstract

Abstract The authors proposed a fusion protocol using multilevel clustering (FPMC), which is completely dependent on the increased coverage and wireless sensor network (WSN) reliability‐clustering framework to eliminate duplication. Therefore, a static sensor for a point of interest is allocated where possible so that the particular area can be protected. Furthermore, FPMC ensures that only one sensor node is allocated to cover a specific point of interest. The network coverage, energy usage, mean movement of WSNs nodes and sensor nodes are active in each loop due to which efficiency of the proposed protocol was assessed under various densities, and its performance was also analysed. Evaluations have shown that with restricted active nodes and sensor nodes, the FPMC can increase the networking coverage. The FPMC should be stressed as reducing the overlap level. The proposed protocol is based on the fusion protocol using multi‐level clustering for improving coverage and connectivity WSNs.
