Abstract:
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) bringing in new applications and needs non -conventional standard for protocol design due to various
challenges. While selecting a protocol for WSN formulating an energy efficient protocol is the biggest challenge. On-Demand routing protocols operates
on the idea of generating routes as and when needed between a source and destination node pair in a network topology. Traditi onal AOMDV Protocol
provides multiple routes but did not consider energy constraint. To overcome this challenge clustering based AOMDV protocol is proposed. Energy
based multipath routing LEACH by introducing the clustering mechanism is tried. But in LEACH Protocol cluster head selection mechanism is random
and not dependent on the size of the cluster. A new strategy is proposed which selects the cluster head based on residual energy. It selects the cluster
head for Clustering induced AOMDV based on Midpoint K Means Algorithm by identifying the centroids of the cluster. The proposed methodology
outperforms other traditional protocol algorithms such as LEACH and Energy Efficient Clustering Formation in terms of various parameters such as
Energy Consumption distribution of cluster head in addition to providing multipath
