Proposal for Efficient Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Network in Coal Mine Goaf

The existing uneven clustering algorithm have disadvantages of coal mine with long strip structure. This paper proposed a UCEB-CMF protocol to improve the safety of coal mine monitoring system. The new protocol optimize the selection mechanism of the cluster head, avoid the lower residual energy nodes become the cluster head. Improve the calculation method of non-uniform competition radius and the competition way of the candidate cluster head, so the new protocol can ensure the node which close to the Sink node and has the more energy to priority become the cluster head. Propose a multipath routing algorithm according to the characteristics of the node in the coal mine goaf is die easily, it can ensure the persistence of the data transmission. Simulation results show that the routing protocol effectively balances the energy consumption among cluster heads and achieves an obvious improvement on the network life time.
