Assessment of Wireless Sensor Networks Integrated with Various Cluster-Based Routing Protocols
摘要
Clustering is an efficient approach for boosting network durability, energy efficiency, and sensor node connectivity in a wireless sensor network (WSN). The WSN routing protocol has been thoroughly investigated. Based on the network organization, the wireless sensor network has been classified into three types: flat routing, location-based routing, and hierarchical cluster-based routing. Cluster-based routing, because of certain advantages is more efficient in routing technology. This research paper presents the outcome of a large scale survey that was done on cluster-based routing algorithms in WSN. Finally, the authors discuss the highlights and challenges of clustered routing techniques.
