Descrizione:
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consist of hundreds of small and cost effective sensor nodes. Sensor nodes are used to sense the physiological or environmental parameters (e.g. temperature, pressure, etc.). For the connectivity of the sensor nodes, they use wireless transceiver to send and receive the internode signals. Sensor nodes, because connect their selves wireless, use routing process to route the packet to make them reach from source to destination. These sensor nodes run on batteries and they carry a limited battery life. Clustering is the process of creating virtual subgroups of the sensor nodes, which helps the sensor nodes to lower routing computations and to lower the size routing data. There is a wide space available for the research on energy efficient clustering algorithms for the WSNs. LEACH, PEGASIS and HEED are the popular energy efficient clustering protocols for WSNs. In this research, we are working on the development of a hybrid model using LEACH based energy efficient and Kmeans based quick clustering algorithms to produce a new cluster scheme for WSNs with dynamic selection of the number of the clusters automatically.
