A new dynamic weight clustering algorithm for wireless sensor networks (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Essa, A., Al-Dubai, A., Romdhani, I., & Eshaftri, M. (2016, May). A new dynamic weight clustering algorithm for wireless sensor networks. Presented at 1st EAI International Conference on Smart Grid Inspired Future Technologies (SmartGift 2016)

Since sensor nodes have limited energy resources, prolonging network lifetime and improving scalability are essential elements in energy-efficient Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Most existing approaches consider the residual energy of a single node... Read More about A new dynamic weight clustering algorithm for wireless sensor networks.
