Energy Efficient Quad Clustering based on K-means Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Network
Bhawnesh Kumar, Umesh Kumar Tiwari, Santosh Kumar · 2020
A collection of sensor nodes are available in wireless sensor network for gathering the distinguish data from environment. This sensing process consumes more energy of the network which effects the whole network life time. So energy usage in efficient manner is the main issue to maintaining the network. Clustering is the process used for reducing the energy consumption. K-means is the post popular clustering algorithm to form the clusters. In this paper, propose energy efficient clustering i.e quad clustering based on K-means algorithm. This approach improves the performance of wireless sensor network in terms of network lifetime. As simulation shows the proposed work is better than single cluster in case of distance coverage as well as energy consumption.
