Clustering is one of the fundamental approaches used to optimize energy consumption in
wireless sensor networks. Clustering protocols proposed in the literature can be classified …

In wireless sensor networks, the energy consumption of sensors is not uniform over the
whole region of deployment. The uneven energy usage occurs because some sensors have …

This paper introduces a nonlinear integer programming model for the clustering problem in
wireless sensor networks, with a threefold contribution. First, all factors that may influence …

Energy conservation is crucial for clustered wireless sensor networks (WSNs) due to the
bounded energy at sensor nodes. Energy conservation is achieved mainly through load …

The self-organizing wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have become an important research
area in the emerging technologies. For several years, these remotely deployed WSNs have …

Recently wireless sensor network has become attractive field of research. A wireless sensor
network (WSN) contains plenty of sensor nodes (SNs) that continuously monitor the physical …
