Enhanced Clustering Mechanism in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been used in wide areas of applications. For efficient data transmission in these networks, an intelligent clustering mechanism is required. In this thesis, we have designed and implemented a new energy efficient clustering mechanism for sensor nodes. Nodes are grouped into different cluster based upon some predefined criteria and an efficient algorithm is designed for the same. The complexity analysis of the proposed scheme is also included. The proposed scheme is simulated by varying different parameters and results obtained show that the proposed scheme performs well with respect to these parameters.
