An Energy-Efficient Mobile Sink-Based Unequal Clustering Mechanism for WSNs

An Energy-Efficient Mobile Sink-Based Unequal Clustering Mechanism for WSNs

Network lifetime and energy efficiency are crucial performance metrics used to evaluate wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Decreasing and balancing the energy consumption of nodes can be employed to increase network lifetime. In cluster-based WSNs, one objective of applying clustering is to decrease t...
