Uniform multihop clustering for low communication overhead in sensor network

Clustering is one of the efficient routing mechanisms in wireless sensor networks; unification of the clustering with others efficient mechanism like hierarchical, multihop and distance based clustering can enhance the performance of the wireless sensor networks. Clustering can also override the performance of the networks if it is not used in appropriate manner like selecting least energy nodes as a cluster head, selecting many cluster heads in similar region. This paper aims to increase the performance of wireless sensor networks by reducing the communication overhead with uniform multihop clustering mechanism
