In spite of the severe limitations on the resources of the sensor nodes such as memory,
computational power, transmission range and battery, the application areas of Wireless
Sensor Networks (WSNs) are increasing day by day. The main challenge in WSNs is energy
consumption. It becomes significant when a large number of nodes are deployed. Although
clustering is one of the solutions to cater to this problem, but it suffers from severe energy
consumption due to the non-uniform selection of CHs and frequent re-clustering. In this …
