Download or read book Clustering and Routing Algorithms for Wireless Sensor Networks written by Pratyay Kuila and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-09-22 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wireless Sensor Networks have a wide range of applications in different areas. Their main constraint is the limited and irreplaceable power source of the sensor nodes. In many applications, energy conservation of the sensor nodes and their replacement or replenishment due to the hostile nature of the environment is the most challenging issue. Energy efficient clustering and routing are the two main important topics studied extensively for this purpose. This book focuses on the energy efficient clustering and routing with a great emphasis on the evolutionary approaches. It provides a comprehensive and systematic introduction of the fundamentals of WSNs, major issues and effective solutions.
