The Energy Driven Cluster-Head Rotation (EDCR) Algorithm proposed in [1] has been shown to out performed existing clustering algorithms such as LEACH [2], HEED [3], ANTCLUST based [4] and SEP [5] in terms of FND and PNA (95%) lifetime metrics in a distributed wireless sensor network (WSN). In this paper we present theoretical analysis of the performance parameters such as the optimum transmission range (R,pt) and the clustering trigger threshold value (Ai) of EDCR in terms correctness and complexity of the algorithm. Further we explain how to find the optimal values for such parameters in order to maximize the network lifetime.
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.
