Energy efficient clustering with secured data transmission technique for Wireless Sensor Networks

Energy optimization is considered as one of the challenging research topics of Wireless Sensor Networks. Several solutions in the form of clustering, data fusion & aggregation, optimal and smart routing have come forward and it is concluded that one needs to incorporate these solutions in order to effectively optimize energy of WSNs. This paper provides a technique to form uniform clusters, selecting cluster heads and thereby providing secured data fusion mechanism in order to transmit secured data in an energy efficient way within the network. Simulation to evaluate the secured data transmission across the clusters has also been performed.
