Balanced Clustering with Full Coverage in Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract:

This article is about to introduce a new balanced clustering protocol which improves cluster coverage in cluster based Wireless Sensor Network (WSNs). This protocol aims to reduce dissipated energy, increased network life time and data accuracy. Proposed algorithm divides sensing area into small parts. In every section one cluster head is selected base on LELE protocol. Simulation results show that the Balanced clustering with full coverage (BCFC) increase network lifetime, throughput and cluster coverage.
