C.P. Subha, S. Malarkkan · 2016
Wireless sensor networks is an effective tool consisting a large number of small sensors and small embedded devices each with sensing, computation and communication capabilities for gathering data in various environments. Energy consumption is an important issue in the design of WSNs. To overcome the above limitation, efficient method like Cellular Learning Automata(CLA) and Heterogeneous-Hybrid Energy Efficient Distributed(H-HEED)technique have been used in distributed dynamic clustering. The existing method will be the Cellular learning automata in which cluster heads will be selected through several stages by considering their parameters. The proposed method selects the cluster head based on the residual energy of the nodes. Their performance is observed using NS2 simulator and comparison has been made to find the best efficient method.
