An Unequal Clustering Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks Based on Interval Type-2 TSK Fuzzy Logic Theory

Clustering is an effective method for reducing energy consumption in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In a multihop clustered network scenario, each sensor node transmits data to its own cluster head (CH), and the CH aggregates the data from its member nodes and forwards it to the base station (BS)...

description Clustering is an effective method for reducing energy consumption in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In a multihop clustered network scenario, each sensor node transmits data to its own cluster head (CH), and the CH aggregates the data from its member nodes and forwards it to the base station (BS) via other CHs. However, the “hot spot” problem is prone to occur in clustered WSNs because CHs closer to the BS have heavier intercluster forwarding tasks. To address this problem, this paper proposes an unequal clustering algorithm based on interval type-2 TSK fuzzy logic theory (UCT2TSK). The relative distance to the BS (RDB), residual energy (RE), and node density (ND) are considered as the inputs of an interval type-2 fuzzy logic system (FLS). Through fuzzy reasoning, outputs are acquired that can be used to optimize the CHs and determine the cluster sizes. Simulation results verify that UCT2TSK can effectively balance energy consumption and enhance energy efficiency because it has better performance in network lifetime and network throughput than other classical and recent clustering algorithms.
