Clustering algorithm for non‐uniformly distributed nodes in wireless sensor network

Abstract

Balancing energy consumption of sensor nodes and increasing network lifetime are the two important objectives for wireless sensor networks. Sensor nodes distribution in a topology affect the energy consumption of individual nodes as well as the wireless sensor network because the nodes at different locations will have different energy loss due to different distances from the base station. This reported work focuses on energy efficient clustering for practical non‐uniformly deployed sensor nodes in a wireless sensor network.
