Efficient Cluster Formation and Cluster Head Selection for WSN

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is built of several sensor nodes with few resources such as storage, battery usage and so on. These nodes may vary in size, topology and cost. This survey paper, mainly concentrates on improving the network life time, and minimizing the usage of energy. Bee-Sensor-C algorithm is the next version of Bee-Sensor algorithm. Bee-Sensor-C provides parallel data transmission through which the network overhead can be minimized which in turn improves the scalability of the network. This survey also includes the various concepts of BEE-C, Artificial Bee, and Ad hoc On-demand Distance-vector Routing Protocol (AODV) in order to minimize the energy consumption of the network. Recent applications of wireless system are more beneficial than the legacy system.
