Energy Efficient Clustering Algorithm for Multi-Hop Wireless Sensor
Network Using Type-2 Fuzzy Logic
Abstract
Energy Efficient Clustering Algorithm for Multi-Hop Wireless Sensor Network.Lifetime enhancement has always been a crucial issue as most wireless sensor networks (WSNs) operate in an unattended environment where human access and monitoring are practically impossible.
Clustering is one of the most powerful techniques that can associate system operation to assist in network scalability, minimize energy consumption, and achieve prolonged network life.Current researchers have triggered the proposition of many numerous clustering algorithms to conquer this issue.
However, during cluster formation, most of the proposed algorithms overburden the cluster head (CH).To overcome this problem, many researchers have come up with the idea of Fuzzy Logic (FL), which is applied to decision-making in WSN.
