Clustering Algorithms in Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks – A Survey

Abstract

Mobile Wireless Sensor Network has grown tremendously and become a hot Research Area. The most important feature of Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks is that the sensor nodes are small devices with limited processing, low power and can change their location. The main concern of clustering approaches for Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks is to prolong the battery life of the individual sensors by reducing the energy consumption and increasing the network lifetime. There is a need for a powerful algorithm to elect a Cluster Head which remains a challenge of research tasks in many research works that take into account the mobility of the network. This paper analyses various Clustering algorithms and concludes with the comparison of performance of the algorithms based on some of the parameters like Residual Energy, Mobility, Degree and Distance.
