IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATION OF A FUZZY-BASED CLUSTER-HEAD SELECTION SYSTEM FOR WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS CONSIDERING NETWORK TRAFFIC
Keywords:
Wireless Sensor Networks, Cluster-Head, Network Traffic, Fuzzy LogicAbstract
There are many fundamental problems that Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) research will have to address in order to ensure a reasonable degree of cost and system quality. Some of these problems include sensor node clustering, Cluster Head (CH) selection and energy dissipation. Cluster formation and CH selection are important problems in WSNs applications and can drastically affect the WSNs energy. However, selecting of the CH is not easy in different environments which may have different characteristics. In order to deal with this problem, in our previous work, we have proposed a power reduction algorithm for WNSs based on fuzzy logic and number of neighbor nodes. In this paper, we propose a new fuzzy-based CH selection system considering network traffic to improve the performance of the previous system. We evaluate the proposed system by simulations and show that it has a good CH selection.
