Energy hole is regarded as one of the challenging issues in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). According to this problem, nodes that are closer to the sink lose their energy earlier than other nodes. Consequently, it leads to the early breakdown of the network. One approach for preventing this problem is to use mobile sink rather than one or more sinks with fixed positions. Also, using fuzzy logic and...
A Wireless Sensor Network consists of enormous amount of sensor nodes. These sensor nodes sense the information from the sensing region and transmit to the sink. From the sink a client can access the required information. Essential part of the wireless sensor network is the sensor nodes that are driven with the batteries. Prolonging the network lifetime is very difficult and expensive in many conditions...

To select fair and balanced cluster head for cross layer protocol in wireless sensor network, a novel scheme is proposed in this paper. Because LEACH-C and its most of the variants select cluster head by considering energy and distance as a crucial parameter, it can reduce energy consumption of nodes but fail to create balanced cluster. According to the requirement of fair CH selection, we consider...

Clustering is an important technique that helps in reducing the network energy consumption. The Cluster Head (CH) usually performs data fusion, aggregation and communication of the aggregated data to the Base Station. As the CHs communicate with the Base Stations located at larger distances than the member nodes, they generally consume more energy. This leads to energy drainage of CHs at a faster...
