Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) play an essential role in today’s genuine world applications. The effectiveness of WSNs depends on the data collection. However, traditional data collection schemes fail to provide a guaranteed reliable network in terms of traffic and end-to-end connection. To secure the WSNs against adversaries misdirecting the multi-hop routing, we have designed and implemented EDCTE; An Efficient Data Collection based on Trust Evaluation in Large Scale Wireless Sensor Networks. It provides trustworthy and energy efficient route that would effectively diminish the problems of delay, traffic and end-to-end connection. The Data Collector (DC) collects the data packet from the Cluster Head (CH) and delivers it to the Base Station (BS). The strength of the EDCTE algorithm is to build a simple structure, so as to reduce the energy consumption of the CH and to avoid frequent cluster formation. Simulation results demonstrate that EDCTE provides better QoS in terms of energy consumption, throughput, end-to-end delay and lifetime of the network.
