Energy Efficient Clustering Based on Static Cluster to Maximize Lifetime in Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consist of a set of sensor nodes distributed in an area of interest used to detect the physical parameters of the environment One of the familiar methods that mainly focus on increasing the power factor in WSNs is clustering Current clustering approaches use two methods: dynamic clustering in which the formation of clusters occurs periodically in each round, or forming clusters that remain fixed during network operation using static clustering, However, the previous algorithms did not consider the energy consumed in the communication between nodes. In the paper, we propose an Energy Efficient Clustering (EEC) based on static clustering to solve the problems of energy consumption used in cluster formation These algorithms were implemented in MATLAB and were evaluated in terms of various performance metrics, such as energy efficiency and lifetime Simulation results have verified that the proposed method is better than the other existing approaches.
