Fuzzy C-Means Clustering Approach for Green IoT in Smart Cities
Aya Ayad Hussein, Hazem Noori Abdulrazzak · 2024
Cluster-based routing or Hierarchical is a widely recognized approach with particular benefits in terms of scalability and communication efficiency. In Wireless Sensor Networks supported$IoT$, the utilization of clustered routing is a cost-effective method of data collection and transmission, where nodes with the most energy remaining can be utilized to collect and transmit data. This paper proposed a soft Fuzzy C-Means Dynamic Clustering (FCM-DC) Approach. A new Cluster Head (CH) selection technique was presented also. The proposed model was compared with an existing cluster based routing protocol, LEACH protocol, and LEACH-C protocol. The proposed FCM-DC model reduce the packet delay about 16% in 50 nodes scenario and 86% in 100 nodes scenario compared with LEACH.
