GENETIC RELATED CLUSTERING FOR REDUCING ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK

Shreya Patel, Jayesh Munjani

Abstract: A wireless sensor network is made up of large number of mote (sensor node). Mote has limited battery power. Mote need to perform different type of task like monitor an area, sense the data, collect this data and send this data to base station. As mote (sensor node) need to do such a task it requires more battery power.so it is necessary to save energy of mote by reducing energy consumption.one can use clustering to reduce energy consumption. Clustering is grouping of mote. Energy consumption can be reduced by using intelligent hierarchical techniques for clustering. Various artificial intelligent techniques can be integrated with clustering better result can be achieved.
