Distributed and adaptive clustering architecture for dynamic sensor networks

authors: Elsayed Saad, Medhat Awadalla, Rania Darwish

Clustering is an effective topology control approach in sensor networks. This paper proposes a distributed and adaptive clustering architecture for dynamic sensor networks. The proposed architecture comprises an approach for energy-efficient clustering with adaptive node activity for achieving a good performance in terms of system lifetime and network coverage quality. This architecture demonstrates a uniform cluster head distribution across the network in addition to a desirable network coverage. Furthermore, this paper presents an analytical approach to disclose the relationship between network density and coverage quality. Experiments were conducted to validate the proposed architecture. The analytical and simulation results demonstrate that the proposed architecture prolongs network lifetime meanwhile preserving a highly coverage quality.

Dear authors,
Thank you for your contribution.
Could you please supply a new version of your flowchart (Fig 1)? The current version is illegible.
Best wishes.

Hi Medhat,

Thanks for uploading the chart in a different file, but in order to publish your nice paper in the proceeding in the way be usefull for everybody, it is better to change the original paper with one has clear flow chart in it.

Regards,

Afshin
