ABSTRACT: A
wireless sensor network consists of hundreds or thousands of small nodes which
could either have a static or dynamic position. These nodes are deployed
through normal or random distribution to report events of a particular area to
the base station through sink nodes. Having limited onboard energy of sensor
nodes, conservation of energy in wireless sensor network is necessary. For this
purpose, a new algorithm is proposed titled Energy-Efficient-Direction-Based-Topology-Control-Algorithm
(EEDBTC). In proposed algorithm, direction is the main concern whenever an event occurs the node will send data
in the direction of base station so that less energy is consumed. The results of the same were compared with customary
dense wireless sensor network, color based WSNs and it was observed that
this algorithm is much better than previous topology control algorithms used.
