“…The most common problems faced were the network hole problem and the isolated node problem. The network hole problem is also called as a hotspot problem, where the CH near the BS depletes energy faster as compared to the nodes far away from the BS in a multihop environment, as most of the data reaches to the CH near the BS for aggregation and data transfer to the BS [9][10][11][12][13]. On the other hand, the isolated node problem is where nodes do not join any cluster and do not have a path to send data to the BS [14][15][16].…”

In recent years, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been growing rapidly because of their ability to sense data, communicate wirelessly, and compute data efficiently. These networks contain small and low-powered sensor nodes that organize and configure themselves to carry out their functions. Even though WSNs are cheap, easy to deploy, flexible, and efficient, there are some challenges in terms of energy efficiency and network lifetime. Clustering in WSNs is the most reliable solution for the challenges, in which nodes are grouped into few clusters, and a cluster head (CH) is selected for data aggregation and data transfer to the base station (BS). However, there are still many challenges such as energy hole and isolated node problems that exist because of inefficient CH selection and cluster formation methods. In this work, we comprehensively reviewed various nonmetaheuristic and metaheuristic methods for CH selection and cluster formation that are used in networks from various environmental settings, for a better understanding of how the aforementioned problems are tackled by some authors. Moreover, the methods’ parameter settings, advantages, limitations, and future directions are presented with a brief performance summary of the approaches.
