A NOVEL DISTRIBUTED PROTOCOL FOR RANDOMLY DEPLOYED CLUSTERED BASED WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK
Sanjaya Kumar Padhi, Prasant Kumar Pattnaik · 2010
Grouping sensor nodes into cluster has been popularly used in order to achieve the network scalability. Every cluster needs a leader, and referred as the cluster-head. Many clustering Schemes for Wireless sensor Networks focus on the stable clustering techniques for mobile environments. In this paper, we have proposed a novel Distributed protocol in randomly deployed Wireless Sensor networks. Our work minimizes the selection of cluster heads in which both energy of the nodes and total energy consumption of the cluster are considered. We have shown the correctness & effectiveness of our protocol by mathematical simulation studies.
