ω-LLC: weighted low-energy localized clustering for embedded networked sensors

This paper addresses a weighted dynamic localized clustering unique to a hierarchical sensor network structure, while reducing the energy consumption of cluster heads and as a result prolonging the network lifetime. Low-Energy Localized Clustering, our previous work, dynamically regulates the radii of clusters to minimize energy consumption of cluster heads while the network field is being covered. We present weighted Low-Energy Localized Clustering (w-LLC), which consumes less energy than LLC with weight functions.
