On determining cluster size of randomly deployed heterogeneous WSNs
Cataloged from PDF version of article.Clustering is an efficient method to solve scalability
problems and energy consumption challenges. For this reason it
is widely exploited in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications.
It is very critical to determine the number of required
clusterheads and thus the overall cost of WSNs while satisfying
the desired level of coverage. Our objective is to study cluster
size, i.e., how much a clusterhead together with sensors can cover
a region when all the devices in a WSN are deployed randomly.
Therefore, it is possible to compute the required number of nodes
of each type for given network parameters
