Energy-Aware Clustering Algorithms Used in Wireless Sensor Networks
Muhammet Tay, Arafat Şentürk · 2019
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) always need energy as a part of the areas they are used. Therefore, they must use their energy in the most efficient way. One of the most important roles in ensuring energy efficiency for the WSN is creating clusters between sensor nodes. Choosing the most appropriate sensor node as Cluster Head (CH) among the clustered sensors according to the predetermined criteria decreases the energy consumption. In this study, the most frequent clustering algorithms in the literature are included and these algorithms are compared based on certain metrics. As a result of the comparison, advantages and disadvantages of clustering algorithms are indicated.
