Study of Clustering Approaches in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Ever since its introduction, wireless sensor networks have enabled us to do things which were previously unimaginable by simplifying more tasks and enhancing quality of life to millions of technology-dependent groups of people. Just like every other cutting edge technology, WSN also has its own needs and challenges with respect to that of the usage or transmission of data packets. This study paper is an attempt to introduce the research community to some of the clustering approaches followed in WSN along with the challenges that one should be familiar with before working on clustering approaches in WSN.
