Integrated Energy Efficient Clustering Strategy for Wireless Sensor Networks

The foremost compensations of clustering are the communication of combined information to the base station, bids scalability for enormous quantity of nodes and lowers down energy depletion. Essentially, clustering could be categorized into centralized grouping, distributed grouping and hybrid grouping. In centralized grouping, the cluster head is immovable. The rest of the sensor nodes in the group deed as participant nodes. In distributed clustering, the cluster head is not stationary. The cluster head retains on fluctuating form node to node within the group on the foundation of some restrictions. Hybrid clustering is the mixture of both centralized clustering and distributed grouping contrivances. A distributed clustering procedure, the integrated energy efficient clustering (IEEC) mechanism has been anticipated. The anticipated procedure is a well dispersed and energy effectual grouping procedure which engages relay nodes, capricious communication power and solitary message communication per node for group set-up. The enactment of the projected procedure is associated with two prevailing distributed grouping procedures LEACH and HEED. The projected procedure portrays an upgrading in average communication energy and overall system energy intake. Eventually, the complete network lifetime is considerably extended in IEEC procedure.
