We propose a novel scheme that aims to determine the optimal number of clusters based on
the field conditions and the positions of mobile sink nodes. In addition, we merge algorithms …

Clustering the sensor nodes is one of the most popular and effective approaches for
applications that must support hundreds or thousands of nodes. The conventional …

A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a particular ad hoc network which consists of a set of
small size devices called sensors exploited in a defined geographical zone. The …

We consider the challenge of organizing densely deployed sensor nodes into the form of
clusters, using the distribution of network residual energy (NRE), which is defined as the …

This article provides a taxonomy on the cluster characteristics that have not been addressed
in previous literature, and it points out the cluster-head properties that minimize members …

In this paper, we propose a new energy efficient clustering scheme to prolong the network
lifetime by reducing energy consumption at the sensor node. Every node will determine …

Clustering the sensor nodes is one of the most popular and an effective approach for
applications that require scalability to hundreds or thousands of nodes. The conventional …

In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), sensor nodes are usually deployed with limited
energy reserves in remote environments for a long period of time with less or no human …

Abstract In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), sensor nodes are usually deployed with
limited energy reserves in remote environments for a long period of time with less or no …

In the past two decades, network clustering has been proven as efficient approach for data
collection and routing in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). It provides several advantages …
