Energy efficient cluster-head election scheme for wireless sensor network based on fuzzy load balancing

The fundamental component of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is sensor nodes. As sensor nodes are generally battery-powered, the lifetime of WSNs were greatly influenced by the fact that the main source of energy consumption is communication. Thus, once deployed, the entire network lifetime shows a...

Electronics Nuclear engineering The fundamental component of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is sensor nodes. As sensor nodes are generally battery-powered, the lifetime of WSNs were greatly influenced by the fact that the main source of energy consumption is communication.
