Analysis of wireless sensor networks and evaluation of clustering in these networks

The rapid development of computer networks and the need for self-aware networks and systemshave led to a lot of research in this field. One of these networks is wireless sensor network.Thewireless sensor network has a large number of sensor nodes with limited energy that arescattered in a geographical area. This network interacts with the physical environment andreceives environmental information through sensors and reacts through agents. One of theimportant issues in these networks is increasing the lifespan and stability of the network based onits topology. The long communication distance between the sensors and the sink in a wirelesssensor network consumes a lot of energy and also reduces the network lifetime and its stability,since clustering, as one of the topology management methods for the stability of networksWireless sensor can reduce the energy consumption requirement as the most important challengein WSNs, in this article, we investigate wireless sensor networks and clustering in thesenetworks.
