Abstract

The occurrence of an event can be detected using sensor nodes. The eminent constraint of these sensor nodes is the non-replenishing battery. Conservation of energy is an important aspect due to its limited battery power. Energy utilization using cloned mobile agents is the ultimate aim in this proposed work. The network is divided into clusters and 2 subheads are elected from each cluster. The event occurred is sensed by a sensor and is transmitted to the subhead. The cloned mobile agent collects data from the subhead and transmits it to the sink. The gathered data from sink is then transferred to android mobile. The advantages of this mechanism are less delay and reduced energy consumption. When the energy of existing subhead is reduced to half of its initial energy, new subhead is selected. Thus energy utilization is minimized and overall lifetime of network is increased.
