A New Pluggable Framework for Centralized Routing in Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

This paper presents a novel energy aware centralized dynamic clustering routing framework for large-scale Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The main advantage of the proposed method is pluggability of clustering algorithms in the framework. It uses some clustering algorithms that some of their usages are new in this field. The clustering algorithms are K-means, FCM, UPC, GA, IGA and FGKA that run at base station used to identify cluster of sensors. Six clustering algorithms are evaluated in the framework and results of them are compared in three models named unicast, multicast and broadcast.
