Clusterhead selection using Huffman coding algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks

TLDR
In the proposed algorithm, cluster heads are chosen depending on the Huffman coding algorithm, the nodes having the least weight are chosen to be cluster heads and the performance is increased by 30% than LEACH.
Abstract
Energy efficiency is a major concern in WSNs due to the use of small sized batteries which can neither be replaced nor be recharged Hence the energy consumption must be as low as possible One of the traditional approaches used is clustering Clusters are formed for efficient energy utilization and improving the network performance In the proposed algorithm, cluster heads are chosen depending on the Huffman coding algorithm The nodes having the least weight are chosen to be cluster heads The result obtained is compared with LEACH and the performance is increased by 30% than LEACH

An application-specific protocol architecture for wireless microsensor networks

TL;DR: This work develops and analyzes low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH), a protocol architecture for microsensor networks that combines the ideas of energy-efficient cluster-based routing and media access together with application-specific data aggregation to achieve good performance in terms of system lifetime, latency, and application-perceived quality.

Network information flow

TL;DR: This work reveals that it is in general not optimal to regard the information to be multicast as a "fluid" which can simply be routed or replicated, and by employing coding at the nodes, which the work refers to as network coding, bandwidth can in general be saved.

HEED: a hybrid, energy-efficient, distributed clustering approach for ad hoc sensor networks

TL;DR: It is proved that, with appropriate bounds on node density and intracluster and intercluster transmission ranges, HEED can asymptotically almost surely guarantee connectivity of clustered networks.

PEGASIS: Power-efficient gathering in sensor information systems

TL;DR: PEGASIS (power-efficient gathering in sensor information systems), a near optimal chain-based protocol that is an improvement over LEACH, is proposed, where each node communicates only with a close neighbor and takes turns transmitting to the base station, thus reducing the amount of energy spent per round.
