A Novel Optimized Energy Efficient Clustering Approach for Prolonging the Network Lifetime in Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

The energy efficiency in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is an important challenge. A clustering-based approach is an energy-saving approach in WSN. The effective way of clustering approach is used to divide the network into various clusters that directly affect the total energy consumption and reduces the network lifetime of the WSN. This work introduces novel energy-efficient clustering approaches for cluster head (CH) selection and cluster formulation newline
