Energy-Efficient and Secure Data Forwarding Mechanism for Balancing Cluster Lifetime for Huge Size Wireless Sensor Networks
In designing Wireless Sensor Networks, energy efficiency and security should be considered very critically. Energy efficiency is achieved through data aggregation which eliminates the transmission of redundant data while security is achieved by preserving confidentiality among sensor
node and the base station. In this paper, an energy efficient and secure cluster based aggregation mechanism is presented. In this model, for energy efficiency the network is divided into tracks and sectors so the cluster head’s are uniformly selected from the whole network. To achieve
security the cluster head’s perform data aggregation with the help of some pattern codes and only distinctive data is transmitted from sensor nodes in encrypted form. To perform aggregation, the sensor nodes do not need to know about the actual sensor data therefore there is no need
to use any encryption or decryption schemes between nodes and cluster head. Performance evaluation shows proposed model works better to enhance the network lifetime, security, average residual energy, and average packet transmission ratio than conventional data aggregation models.
