Spatial Clustering of Wireless Sensor Network Nodes Based on Packet Loss
Ahmed Y. Tawfik, Randa El-Marakby · 2007
This paper examines the problem of grouping wireless sensor nodes forming a network into a set of spatial clusters. The technique for grouping the nodes proposed here, exploits the spatial degradation in wireless signals to group the nodes into regions based on the packet loss rate. The technique is validated on datasets obtained from actual wireless sensor networks. The obtained results support the validity of the proposed approach.
