What Is The Importance Of A Network?

4.3 Motivation
• Energy dissipation reduction:In WSNs, energy efficiency is a key design issue that needs to beenhanced in order to improve the life span of the network. The proposed protocol (EEHCBF)is able to route data efficiently in terms of energy.
• Load balance and node distribution: Most of the routing protocols that opts Cluster head architecture, don’t consider even distribution of nodes under cluster. For example, one clusterhead have 10 nodes and other cluster head have only two nodes. The energy of the cluster head with 10 nodes, will drained fastly as compared to the cluster head with two nodes only. The design of EEHCBF protocol considersthe feature of evenly distribution of the nodes under cluster head.
• Base Station …show more content…

More precisely, as it is explained later on, the choice of the cluster heads in EEHCBF protocol is based on the residual energy as well as the maximum number of neighbors of the nodes. That is to say, the member of each cluster having the highest residual energy and maximum no of neibhbors is the one selected as the cluster head. The cluster heads which are close enough to the base station have the ability to communicate directly with the base station with reasonable power consumption. These cluster heads are considered to be the highest level cluster heads. Similarly, cluster heads which are located far away from the base station are considered to be lower level cluster heads.

4.4 Terminology Used
The terminology used to explain the routing protocol and the elements implemented on it are described here to make easy to follow the detailed description provided in the following sections.
• START is the message used by base station. Initially the Base station will broadcast this message to all sensor nodes present in field to indicate that all nodes present should start the task.
• HELLO is message which gets broadcast by all nodes after receiving START message, in order to find their neighbors. This HELLO message will reach to those nodes only that are within range of that node.
• REPLY is the message send by a node when it receives HELLO message. This message contain the node id. After receving the REPLY message, each node makes it
