Cooperative Multi-hop Protocol for Cluster Based Wireless Network

Abstract: In cooperative multi-hop protocol, the sending and transmitting nodes are connected with adjacent nodes for the purpose of communication. In this protocol, a cooperative protocol has a link with cluster based network and each node in cluster is act as a cluster header. The transmitter cluster will provide a cooperative multi-hop protocol for establishing the cluster based wireless network and we can save the energy of nodes up to 80% at the time of transmission. This energy will save by designing grid topology, as the same time randomly placing the cluster nodes in cooperative network and to save 40% of energy. This type of reduction in error rates and energy saving is used to increase the energy efficient of the clustered wireless network.
