Node Classification Based on Functionality in Energy-Efficient and Reliable Wireless Sensor Networks

Energy efficiency and reliability are two important factors when we design a wireless sensor network (WSN). In this paper, we proposed an energy-efficient and reliable hierarchical mechanism for WSNs. We utilized clustering structure to decrease energy consumption. Because cluster head plays an impo...
