Abstract
Interference during data transmission can cause performance degradation like packet collisions in
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). While multi-channels available in IEEE 802.15.4 protocol standard
WSN technology can be exploited to reduce interference, allocating channel and channel switching
algorithms can have a major impact on the performance of multi-channel communication. This paper
presents an improved Fuzzy Logic based Cluster Formation and Cluster Head (CH) Selection algorithm
with enhanced network lifetime for multi-cluster topology. The Multi-Cluster Multi-Channel Scheduling
(MMS) algorithm proposed in this paper improves the data collection by minimizing the maximum
interference and collision. The presented work has developed Cluster formation and cluster head (CH)
selection algorithm and Interference-free data communication by proper channel scheduled. The extensive simulation and experimental outcomes prove that the proposed algorithm not only provides an
interference-free transmission but also provides delay minimization and longevity of the network lifetime,
which makes the presented algorithm suitable for energy-constrained wireless sensor networks
