Calculating the Number of Cluster Heads Based on the Rate-Distortion Function in Wireless Sensor Networks

Due to limited resources in wireless sensor nodes, energy efficiency is considered as one of the primary constraints in the design of the topology of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Since data that are collected by wireless sensor nodes exhibit the characteristics of temporal association, data fusi...
