A Survey on various Clustering Algorithms in Wireless Sensor Network
Abstract
Wireless Sensor Network has gained the attention of
scientists and researchers because of its potential for applications in
various fields of science and technology and is one of the most
rapidly advancing technologies. Wireless sensor network faces some
severe resource and computational constraints due to which their
implementation becomes a difficult task. Among the resource
constraints, the major challenge for WSN is energy limitation.
Energy efficient algorithms must be implemented so as to prolong the
lifetime of network. Network lifetime can be maximized through
clustering algorithms, where cluster is responsible for sending the
data to the base station and not all the nodes are involved in
transmission of data. In this paper, we summarized various clustering
algorithms for WSNs and draw comparison between them based on
clustering properties, cluster head capability and clustering process
and briefly discuss types of clustering as well as discuss various
performance metrics, challenges and issues faced during the
formation of cluster head.
