Aim: To maximize the network lifetime using Fuzzy Based cluster head selection algorithm in comparison with LEACH algorithm. Materials and methods: Network Lifetime is computed with a dataset sample of size 40. The classification of nodes is performed by the Fuzzy algorithm of sample size (N=20), and the LEACH algorithm of sample size (N=20) with 100 nodes. Result and Discussion: The network lifetime of fuzzy algorithm is 81.76% when compared to LEACH algorithm with 72.64%. Significant difference in network lifetime (P=0.001) for fuzzy based cluster algorithm and (P=0.001) for LEACH algorithm. Conclusion: Within the limits of the study, Fuzzy algorithm performs better than LEACH algorithm in case of network lifetime.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
