Topology-controlled adaptive clustering for uniformity and increased lifetime in wireless sensor networks

摘要: Owing to the dynamic nature of sensor network applications adoption adaptive cluster-based topologies has many untapped desirable benefits for wireless networks. In this study, authors explore such possibility and present an clustering algorithm increase network's lifetime while maintaining required connectivity. The proposed scheme features capability cluster heads adjust their power level achieve optimal degree maintain value throughout operation. Under method a topology control allows degree, which results in better distributed sensors well-balanced system enhancing networks' lifetime. simulation show that maintains inter-cluster connectivity on more rounds compared with hybrid energy-efficient (HEED), (EECS), low-energy hierarchy (LEACH) energy-based LEACH.
