Abstract:Energy efficiency is a crucial performance metric in sensor networks, imminently determining the network lifetime. Consequently, a key objective in WSN is to improve overall energy efficiency to extend the network lifetime. Its conservation influences the topology design of many WSN-based systems, especially the clustering of the network. Unlike other WSN clustering algorithms, that do not re-cluster the network after deployment, our hypothesis is that it is advisable, in terms of prolonging the network lifeti… 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.
