Abstract

In recent years, energy consumption and data gathering is a foremost concern in many applications of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The major issue in WSNs is effective utilization of the resource as energy and bandwidth with a large gathering of data from the monitoring and control applications. This paper proposes novel Bandwidth Efficient Cluster based Packet Aggregation algorithm for heterogeneous WSNs. It combines the idea of variable packet generation rate of each node with random data. The nodes are randomly distributed with different energy level and are equal in numbers. It uses the perfectly compressible aggregation function at cluster head based on the correlation of packets and data generated by each node. Compare to state-of-the-art solutions, the algorithm shows 4.43 % energy savings with reduced packet delivery ratio (62.62 %) at the sink. It shows better bandwidth utilization in packet aggregation than data aggregation.
