An Improved Energy-Efficient Distributed Clustering Protocol

Establishment of communication with sensor device and enhancement in Cluster Head selection method in distributed environment is presented in this book. The cluster head selection in wireless sensor networks is critical process. The energy consumed in this process degrades the performance and stability of wireless sensor network. To enhance the performance, efficient technique is required. We introduced two new parameters in our algorithm, to make the cluster head selection process more balanced and efficient, by reducing the probability of advanced node to become cluster head when their residual energy is less than or equal to normal node. Here advanced nodes are higher energy nodes as compared to normal nodes. This scheme improves the lifetime and stability of sensor network.
