In this chapter, the authors propose a multi-objective solution to the problem by using multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm to optimize the number of clusters in a sensor network in order to provide an energy-efficient solution. The proposed algorithm considers the ideal degree of nodes and battery power consumption of the sensor nodes. The main advantage of the proposed method is that it provides a set of solutions at a time. The results of the proposed approach were compared with two other well-known clustering techniques: WCA and CLPSO-based clustering. Extensive simulations were performed to show that the proposed approach is an effective approach for clustering in WSN environments and performs better than the other two approaches.
