Fuzzy logic based effective clustering method for wireless sensor netwaorks

Abstract

iii newlineABSTRACT newlineNowadays, the wireless network is utilized worldwide due to its newlineadvanced beneficial techniques in communication and monitoring purposes. newlineThe primary function of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is to sense the newlineinformation from the surrounding environment and transfers the data to newlineremote locations. WSN is comprised of numerous Sensor Nodes (SNs) newlinethroughout the network that passes the information to the neighboring nodes newlineuntil the data gets received by the Base Station (BS). The obtained data gets newlineprocessed and restructured by the BS and then transfers the restructured data newlineto the users. The wireless sensor nodes are employed in various hostile newlineconditions such as health care sector, disaster relief operations, smart building newlineconstructions, mapping of biodiversity, military and agriculture purposes. newlineHowever, energy consumption and network lifetime are the key concern newlineparameters in WSN. Each sensor node in the network is allotted with limited newlineamount of energy. During data broadcasting, the SNs deplete their energy newlinefaster which results in the reduction of network lifetime. newline
