Using clustering methods in sensor networks improves their efficiency and management. Moreover, it brings with it the main parameter in sensor networks i.e. decrease in energy consumption. To transfer data to a sink in a network having many nodes, multi-hop methods have to be used. Also in many of the cases, there is a mobile sink (or user) in a network environment. In this paper, using fuzzy logic we present a routing method which divides the network into groups which are like clusters and has the ability of supporting the mobile sink. This routing method has been compared with other routing and clustering methods and the results show the efficiency of the mentioned method.
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.
