The Cluster-head Gateway Switch Routing protocol (CGSR) uses a hierarchical network topology. CGSR organizes nodes into clusters, with coordination among the members of each cluster entrusted to a special node named cluster-head. The cluster head selection is done with the help of any of the algorithm for cluster head selection. Energy is the primary constraint on designing any Wireless Network...

Clustering schemes offer a practical way of providing scalability when dealing with large and dense Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). The feasibility of a clustering method can be primarily determined by the complexity of the cluster head selection. Optimizing the cluster head selection allows for the network to be more efficient by minimizing the signaling overhead while ensuring that the netwo...

Due to the limited energy resources, energy efficient operation of sensor node is a key issue in wireless sensor networks. Clustering is an effective method to prolong the lifetime of energy constrained wireless sensor network. However, clustering in wireless sensor network faces several challenges such as selection of an optimal group of sensor nodes as cluster, optimum selection of cluster he...

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...

Clustering provides an efficient management method and energy balancing scheme for ad-hoc sensor networks. Cluster head is the most important role in a cluster and it acts as a local data coordinator and maintains cluster information. Once malicious nodes or lower energy nodes are selected as cluster heads, the system would be greatly affected. Thus selection of trusted cluster heads with prope...
