Abstract
Conference Title: 2018 15th International Multi-Conference on Systems, Signals & Devices (SSD) Conference Start Date: 2018, March 19 Conference End Date: 2018, March 22 Conference Location: Yassmine Hammamet, Tunisia Energy-efficient protocols are heavily involved specially for low-power, multi-functional wireless sensors networks (WSN's). Therfore, many studies have been presented to find a solution to increase the lifetime of the WSN's. With the application of routing information, various metaheurisitics have been proposed for energy-efficient clustering to ensure reliability and connectivity in WSN s even in large scale environnements. In this paper, a new method for optimal clustering with K-mens technique is proposed which aims to mitigate energy consumption and prolong the lifetime of WSN's. The obtained results seemed that the proposed protocol outperforms other existing clustering protocols, on the basis of energy consumption, throughput, network lifetime and packet delivery as performance metrics.
