- 1Model: Model nodes, energy consumption, and traffic in a network simulator.
- 2Protocol design: Design clustering/routing that balances load and avoids energy holes.
- 3Baselines: Compare against LEACH and other protocols under identical conditions.
- 4Evaluation: Measure network lifetime, first-node-death, throughput, and latency.
Key features to implement
- ✓Energy-aware routing
- ✓Cluster-based design
- ✓Baseline comparison
- ✓Lifetime and latency analysis
- ✓Scalability study
💡 Unique twist to stand out
Incorporate a lightweight ML predictor that anticipates node energy depletion and proactively reroutes traffic.
