A Fuzzy Logic-Based Clustering Algorithm for WSN to Extend the Network Lifetime

 A Fuzzy Logic-Based Clustering Algorithm for WSN to Extend the Network Lifetime

 Wireless sensor network (WSN) brings a new paradigm of real-time embedded systems with limited computation, communication, memory, and energy resources that are being used for huge range of applications where the traditional infrastructure-based network is mostly infeasible. The sensor nodes are densely deployed in a hostile environment to monitor, detect, and analyze the physical phenomenon and consume considerable amount of energy while transmitting the information. It is impractical and sometimes impossible to replace the battery and to maintain longer network life time.
