Abstract

Wireless sensor networks consist of thousands of sensor nodes that are battery-based and have a limited lifetime. Accordingly, performance and energy efficiency are big challenges in wireless sensor networks. In this regard, numerous techniques were studied and developed to reduce energy consumption. In this paper, a mathematical-based method has been proposed for the optimal selecting of the cluster head in wireless sensor networks. In the proposed algorithm, a node was selected as a cluster head that has the maximum energy, weight, and density, as well as the lowest total distance from the other nodes. In this respect, the problem was converted into a math function, which was solved by non-linear programming. The experiment results show that the presented algorithm is efficient, as compared with the other approaches that have, hitherto, been used to solve this problem.
