Sensors and Materials · 2016
In this paper, we propose a multi-hop distributed energy-efficient cluster fuzzy logic control (MHDEECFLC) architecture to solve the coverage problem of wireless networks, prolong network lifetime, and achieve a balance regarding the energy consumption of nodes.We use fuzzy logic control (FLC) to choose fitter nodes that work as cluster heads (CHs).MHDEECFLC architecture enables the choice of fitter nodes that work as CHs to select the phase of the CHs to achieve better energy efficiency and to prolong a wireless sensor network (WSN) lifetime.According to the simulation results compared with previous proposed methods, MHDEECFLC architecture has a longer lifetime and greater coverage efficiency.MHDEECFLC architecture can improve both energy consumption between nodes and the lifetime of a network.
