The adoption of clustering network has extended the lifetime of wireless sensor networks, but it also brings new issues to the network management, including cluster head selection. A number of cluster head selection algorithms have been proposed based on either sensor energy efficiency or sensor trust assessment. The energybased cluster head selection algorithms assume that all sensors in a clu...

Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) are a set of self organized wireless mobile nodes that works without any predefined infrastructure. For routing data in MANETs, the routing protocols relay on mobile wireless nodes. In general, any routing protocol performance suffers i) with resource constraints and ii) due to the mobility of the nodes. Due to existing routing challenges in MANETs clustering bas...

Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a reconfigurable network of mobile nodes connected by multi-hop wireless links and capable of operating without any fixed infrastructure support. In order to facilitate communication within such self-creating, self-organizing and self-administrating network, a dynamic routing protocol is needed. The routing protocol performance suffers due to resource constraint...

Wireless Sensor Network is the network of powerlimited sensing devices called sensors deployed in a region to sense various types of physical information from the environment when these sensors sense and transmit data to other sensors present in the network; considerable amount of energy is dissipated. In this paper, an effort has been done to propose F-MCHEL, a homogeneous energy protocol. In ...

In this paper, we present a unique approach that provides cluster level data-reliability with low energy consumption. Prior to presenting the algorithm, we present a cluster-head selection algorithm which would ensure prolonged lifetime of the cluster as well as the health of the chosen cluster-head during its elected period. Our scheme not only ensures reliability of data aggregated at the clu...

WSN has the potentiality to join the physical world with the virtual world by creating a network of sensor nodes. Here, sensor nodes are usually battery-operated devices, and hence energy reduction of sensor nodes is a major design issue. To extend the network‘s lifetime, minimization of energy consumption should be used. In cluster-based routing, cluster heads shape a wireless stamina to the s...

In wireless sensor networks (WSN), the current cluster based routing techniques may result in increased network workload, energy consumption and re-transmissions. In order to overcome these issues, in this paper, we propose an energy efficient double cluster head selection algorithm for wireless sensor network. In this technique, two cluster heads namely main and sub-ordinate cluster heads are ...

Clustering, an energy efficient approach is used in Wireless Sensor Network. Clustering involves cluster formation and Cluster Head Selection. As the Cluster Head is involved in carrying out the entire communication, a high energy node has to be selected as Cluster Head. Current clustering approaches often use two methods: selecting cluster heads with more residual energy, and rotating cluster ...

Wireless sensor nodes are highly energy constrained devices. They have limited battery life due to various constraints of sensor nodes such as size and cost, etc. Moreover, most of the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications render it impossible to charge or replace the battery of sensor nodes. Therefore, optimal use of node energy is a major challenge in wireless sensor networks. Clustering...

Cluster-based architectures are one of the most practical solutions in order to cope with the requirements of large-scale wireless sensor networks (WSN). Cluster-head election problem is one of the basic QoS requirements of WSNs, yet this problem has not been sufficiently explored in the context of cluster-based sensor networks. Specifically, it is not known how to select the best candidates fo...
