Fuzzy Logic and Trust Based Clustering Approach to Improve the WSN Performance

摘要

Demand of wireless communication is increasing rapidly in real-time application scenario. In this field of wireless communication, wireless sensor networks play an important role to provide the communication in various real-time application scenarios such as atmosphere management, traffic localization etc. However, these networks suffer from various performance degradation issues such as network congestion, packet drop, routing and energy awareness during communication. Various techniques have been developed in this field to cater these issues but energy consumption still remains as an unsloved issue. To deal with this, here we present Fuzzy-Logic based scheme for routing in WSN. This work also uses clustering scheme where trust based routing is applied. Finally, Fuzzy rules are formulated and assigned to the network model. Experimental study is carried out and compared with other technique where simulation performance shows improved routing performance.
