scholarly journals FLCH: Intuitionistic Fuzzy Logic based Cluster Head Selection in Wireless Sensor Networks

A large number of tiny sensor nodes are grouped together to form Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). In Industry and other areas using of sensors are increasing every day. Therefore, the energy utilization of sensor nodes becomes a vital problem due to non-rechargeable battery. To improve the vital resources, the energy efficient clustering models are to be improved. This paper presents a novel idea IFLCH: Intuitionistic Fuzzy Logic based Cluster Head Selection for WSNs for electing Cluster Head (CH) based on the energy efficiency parameters such as residual energy, distance between neighbors. The proposed scheme also elects Super CH (SCH) based on the above-mentioned parameters along with number of neighbors. The simulation results compared the proposed model with the existing schemes and it receives better performance by selecting efficient CH and SCH.

The formation of the unequal clusters of the sensor nodes is a burning research issue in wireless sensor networks (WSN). Energy-hole and non-uniform load assignment are two major issues in most of the existing node clustering schemes. This affects the network lifetime of WSN. Salp optimization-based algorithm is used to solve these problems. The proposed algorithm is used for cluster head selection. The performance of the proposed scheme is compared with the two-node clustering scheme in the term of residual energy, energy consumption, and network lifetime. The results show the proposed scheme outperforms the existing protocols in term of network lifetime under different network configurations.

Background & Objective: Wireless sensor networks are made up of huge amount of less powered small sensor nodes that can audit the surroundings, collect meaningful data, and send it base station. Various energy management plans that pursue to lengthen the endurance of overall network has been proposed over the years, but energy conservation remains the major challenge as the sensor nodes have finite battery and low computational capabilities. Cluster based routing is the most fitting system to help for burden adjusting, adaptation to internal failure, and solid correspondence to draw out execution parameters of wireless sensor network. Low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy is an efficient clustering based hierarchical protocol that is used to enhance the lifetime of sensor nodes in wireless sensor network. It has some basic flaws that need to be overwhelmed in order to reduce the energy utilization and inflating the nodes lifetime. Methods : In this paper, an effective auxiliary cluster head selection is used to propose a new enhanced GC-LEACH algorithm in order to minimize the energy utilization and prolonged the lifespan of wireless sensor network. Results & Conclusion: Simulation is performed in NS-2 and the outcomes show that the GC-LEACH outperforms conventional LEACH and its existing versions in the context of frequent cluster head rotation in various rounds, number of data packets collected at base station, as well as reduces the energy consumption 14% - 19% and prolongs the system lifetime 8% - 15%.

Energy efficiency represents a fundamental issue in WSNs, since the network lifetime period entirely depends on the energy of sensor nodes, which are usually battery-operated. In this article, an unequal clustering-based routing protocol has been suggested, where parameters of energy, distance, and density are involved in the cluster head election. Besides, the sizes of clusters are unequal according to distance, energy, and density. Furthermore, the cluster heads are not changed every round unless the residual energy reaches a specific threshold of energy. The outcomes of the conducted simulation confirmed that the performance of the suggested protocol achieves improvement in energy efficiency.

Energy efficiency is especially important for the cluster of the wireless sensor network (WSN). This paper studies how to increase availability and survivability of WSN by selecting a suitable cluster head. For this purpose, we propose a passive distributed clustering scheme (PDCS), to promote the efficiency of energy utilization. In PDCS, both the relative distance and the residual energy are taken into consideration for cluster head selection. Simulation results present that PDCS has better performance than the well-known LEACH scheme.


Nowadays, Wireless Sensor Network is the promising and booming technology used in a variety of applications like disaster monitoring, health care, environmental monitoring, agriculture, industrial automation, etc. However the main drawback of the wireless sensor network is the limited energy source of the sensor nodes. Consequently, efficient utilization of the energy becomes essential for increasing the lifetime of network. Clustering protocol is one of the best energy efficient approach for saving the energy and maximizing the network lifetime. But the improper selection of cluster heads (CHs) may lead to the death of the CHs which deteriorate the performance of the network. Therefore the proper selection of cluster head becomes important for the energy conservation of sensor nodes and to maximize the lifetime of network. In this paper, we have presented PSO based optimal cluster head selection algorithm, in which the best possible CHs are chosen on the basis of parameters like residual energy, intra-cluster distance, and inter-cluster distance of the sensor node. With the effective scheme of particle encoding and fitness function, the proposed PSO algorithm is implemented for reducing the energy consumption and improving lifetime of network. The proposed algorithm also ensures the uniform distribution of the energy over network, by changing the role of CHs after each round. We extend our research to cluster formation approach where the sensor nodes are joined to the CH on the basis distance and energy of cluster head. The proposed algorithm is simulated extensively under various conditions like number of sensor nodes in the field, number of CHs, the position of the base station, constant energy and random energy, etc. and the simulation results are analyzed with the extant algorithms. Under all the circumstances the proposed algorithm outperforms the existing LEACH and SEP protocols in terms of average residual energy, the network lifetime and number of data packets received by the base station. Because of the improvement in the lifetime of the network, the proposed algorithm can be used in the applications like environmental monitoring, agriculture etc.

A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is divided into groups of sensor nodes for efficient transmission of data from the point of measuring to sink. By performing clustering, the network remains energy-efficient and stable. An intelligent mechanism is needed to cluster the sensors and find an organizer node, the cluster head. The organizer node assembles data from its constituent nodes called member nodes, finds an optimal route to the sink of the network, and transfers the same. The nomination of cluster head is crucial since energy utilization is a major challenge of sensor nodes deployed over a hostile environment. In this paper, a fuzzy-based Improved Harris’s Hawk Optimization Algorithm (IHHO) is proposed to select an able cluster head for data communication. The fuzzy inference model ponders balance energy, distance from self to sink node, and vicinity of nodes from cluster head as input factors and decides if a candidate node is eligible for becoming a cluster head. The IHHO tunes the logic into an energy-efficient network with less complexity and more ease. The novelty of the paper lies in applying the hawk-pack technique based on fuzzy rules. Simulations show that the combination of Fuzzy based IHHO reduces the death of nodes through which network lifetime is enhanced.

In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) the energy of Sensor nodes is not certainly sufficient. In order to optimize the endurance of WSN, it is essential to minimize the utilization of energy. Head of group or Cluster Head (CH) is an eminent method to develop the endurance of WSN that aggregates the WSN with higher energy. CH for intra-cluster and inter-cluster communication becomes dependent. For complete, in WSN, the Energy level of CH extends its life of cluster. While evolving cluster algorithms, the complicated job is to identify the energy utilization amount of heterogeneous WSNs. Based on Chaotic Firefly Algorithm CH (CFACH) selection, the formulated work is named “Novel Distributed Entropy Energy-Efficient Clustering Algorithm”, in short, DEEEC for HWSNs. The formulated DEEEC Algorithm, which is a CH, has two main stages. In the first stage, the identification of temporary CHs along with its entropy value is found using the correlative measure of residual and original energy. Along with this, in the clustering algorithm, the rotating epoch and its entropy value must be predicted automatically by its sensor nodes. In the second stage, if any member in the cluster having larger residual energy, shall modify the temporary CHs in the direction of the deciding set. The target of the nodes with large energy has the probability to be CHs which is determined by the above two stages meant for CH selection. The MATLAB is required to simulate the DEEEC Algorithm. The simulated results of the formulated DEEEC Algorithm produce good results with respect to the energy and increased lifetime when it is correlated with the current traditional clustering protocols being used in the Heterogeneous WSNs.

Clustering in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is one of the methods to minimize the energy usage of sensor network. The design of sensor network itself can prolong the lifetime of network. Cluster head in each cluster is an important part in clustering to ensure the lifetime of each sensor node can be preserved as it acts as an intermediary node between the other sensors. Sensor nodes have the limitation of its battery where the battery is impossible to be replaced once it has been deployed. Thus, this paper presents an improvement of clustering algorithm for two-tier network as we named it as Multi-Tier Algorithm (MAP). For the cluster head selection, fuzzy logic approach has been used which it can minimize the energy usage of sensor nodes hence maximize the network lifetime. MAP clustering approach used in this paper covers the average of 100Mx100M network and involves three parameters that worked together in order to select the cluster head which are residual energy, communication cost and centrality. It is concluded that, MAP dominant the lifetime of WSN compared to LEACH and SEP protocols. For the future work, the stability of this algorithm can be verified in detailed via different data and energy.
