Cluster-based Sensor networks(1/2)

Homogeneous versus Heterogeneous Single hop versus Multi-hop

BS

Advantage: Robust to node failures.Drawbacks: (1) High load on cluster head(2) The hardware has to support

(a) long range transmissions(b) complex data computations(c) co-ordination of MAC(d) routing within a cluster.

Advantage: Sensor nodes only requires simple hardware support.

Drawbacks: (1) Less robust to node failure(2) Sensors far from cluster head have

highest energy expenditure(3) Uniform clustering has to be

considered.

LEACH Protocol

1. Single hop homogeneous networks

2. Random cluster head rotation

3. Perfect data correlation model– All individual packets from members of the same

cluster can be combined into a single representative packet.

LEACH Protocol

In LEACH, each node i elects itself

to be a head at the beginning of

round r+1 with probability Pi(t).

(1)

(a) Ci(t) is the indicator function determining whether or not node i has been a head in the most recent (r mod (N/c)) rounds.

(b) c is the desired number of clusters

Globecom 2004

(2)

Ei(t) is the current energy of node i

Problem Formulation

1. N in (1) and Etotal in (2) are global information

2. Too few or too many cluster heads []3. Non-uniform distribution of cluster heads

Globecom 2004

Random election

(1) Suppose

(2) All nodes have equal amount of energy,

if N nodes want to elect c heads, then the self-electing probability for each node is

Expellant Self-Organization Scheme

Contribution:

Turn the question about “how many clusters should the nodes be partitioned? “

into “What is the appropriate cluster size?”

Expellant Self-Organization Scheme

ExampleStep 1: Each node broadcasts vital information (energy, location,…etc) at cluster radius Rc (Rc is a predetermined system parameter)

Rc

Step 2: Each node counts its neighbors and broadcasts the number of its neighbors at cluster radius Rc

•N is the set of neighbors•B(i) is the number of neighbors of the ith neighbor• r = 0.8 in this paper

Step 3: Each node decides to become cluster head according to its potential and broadcast its claim( Using random back-off to avoid collision)
