Abstract:In this paper, we propose a novel clustering protocol for wireless sensor and robot networks (WSRN) to ensure efficient energy usage and maintain maximum connectivity among the sensors. Our algorithm mainly works in two phases: (i) creates optimal number of clusters in the region of interest via threepoint centroidal voronoi diagram. (ii) aggregates data from the members of each cluster and transfers to base station. This protocol is designed using double layered adaptive clustering and unknown region explorat… Show more
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.
