Using a wireless sensor network, variety applications are being developed. In this paper, considering the field of military surveillance and reconnaissance sensors in the network for network configuration in the clustering method to elect a cluster head is about technology. Clustering of a sensor nodes elect to cluster head from among the sensor nodes and cluster heads to the sink node is confi...

In wireless sensor networks, the lifetime of a sensor network is a hottest research topic. Clustering provides an efficient method for increasing the network lifetime. Existing clustering algorithms selects the cluster head with high residual energy and rotates the cluster head periodically to distribute the energy among the nodes in each cluster. Cluster head has the responsibility for collect...

Mobility of node is an important subject at the time of clustering in mobile ad hoc network as it directly affects the strength of the cluster. MANETs clustering based algorithms commonly suffers with crash of cluster-head problem, which degrades the cluster stability. This paper proposes, Node Based Cluster Routing Algorithm (NBCRA), a schema to improve the cluster stability and in-turn to imp...

This paper proposes a cooperative fault-detection mechanism for detecting cluster-head failures in cluster-based UnderWater Sensor Networks (UWSNs). The proposed detection mechanism aims to accurately and fast detect the failure of a cluster head in order to avoid unnecessary energy consumption caused by a mistaken detection. For this purpose, it allows each cluster member to independently dete...

The problem of unbalanced energy consumption exists, and it primarily depends on the role and on the location of a particular node in the network. If the network is organized into heterogeneous clusters, it is important to ensure that energy dissipation of these cluster head nodes is balanced. It should also be ensured that the hot spot problem would not occur and Cluster Head closer to the Bas...

In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), cluster based methods are well known with special advantage of scalability and efficient communication. In this case, the entire network is divided into clusters and in each cluster a cluster head node is selected, normally based on maximum residual energy. But there are other parameters which must be considered for electing cluster head for prolonged lifetime...

This paper presents an efficient clustering scheme for data aggregation considering mobility to reduce the network lifetime in Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks (MWSNs). In MWSNs, an accurate data aggregation is affected by failure in time-critical data transmission due to the differences of mobility between cluster head and its members. Consequently, selecting a node with dissimilar mobility fro...

The LEACH is a popular protocol used in wireless sensor network analysis and simulation. This paper analyses the advantages and disadvantages of LEACH protocol and then puts forward a clustering routing protocol for energy balance of wireless sensor network based on simulated annealing and genetic algorithm. When the sensor nodes are deployed randomly in the area, Firstly, we cluster the sensor...

A (wireless) sensor network can be initialized with one big cluster. This cluster contains all nodes. In addition, it has a head node. The head is nearest to the nearest point of all cluster members. Members communicate with their head using respective local path. Local paths can be multi-hop. A head caches all data from its members. The cache life is adjusted based on how accurate it was previ...

Organizing sensor networks into clustered architectures is an effective approach for load balancing, and prolonging the network lifetime. This paper proposes a Distributed Energy Efficient Scheme to Cluster Wireless Sensor Networks (DESC). This protocol achieves energy efficiency using two techniques: on demand clustering and a multi-criteria cluster formation. Whenever a cluster head consumes ...
