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.
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.
