Yong Zhang, Keqiu Li, Hong Gu, Dongwei Yang · Procedia Engineering · 2012
This paper analyzes the disadvantages of excessive clustering time because of the possible uneven cluster density. As a result, we present an ASMC algorithm. The proposed algorithm provides adaptability to mobile nodes and has no limitation to the network extensibility. Experiments by the improved J-Sim simulator show that our proposed algorithm evens up the cluster density and extends the network lifetime, compared with the results of LEACH and HEED.
