ABSTRACT
Maintaining the full coverage and connectivity in a randomly distributed wireless sensor network is a difficult task. One easy solution of this problem lies in taking a large number of sensors. However, these large numbers of sensors needs to be scheduled properly for providing satisfactory coverage and connectivity and at the same time maximizing the life span of the network. The novelty of this paper lies in the proposal of establishment of a relative coordinates system in randomly distributed wireless sensor networks. Based on this coordinates system it is decided that whether a sensor is eligible to go in sleep mode or not. Simulation of this protocol has been performed employing it over Leach through ns-2 and result is compared with Leach protocol. The proposed scheduling algorithm is found to be outperforming the underlying protocol.
