A Distributed Fault-Tolerant Multi-objective Clustering Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks

摘要

In this paper, we have discussed a distributed fault-tolerant clustering algorithm (DFMCA) for WSNs in which the sensor nodes consider multiple parameters for selecting their CHs. We have also introduced a fault-tolerant algorithm to recover from a faulty cluster head. The simulation results show that our algorithm performs better than both the LBCA and the FTCA methods. In future work, we will extend this work for multi-hop routing, based on the modified DFMCA.
