Abstract

Energy optimized cluster formation for a set of randomly scattered wireless sensors is presented. Sensors within a cluster are expected to be communicating with a cluster head only. The cluster heads summarize and process sensor data from the clusters and maintain the link with the base station. The clustering is driven by the minimization of energy for all the sensors. Recent developments in clustering are used to support the work, and a cluster visualization interface is used to observe the simulation results.
