Abstract

Limited energy is a serious issue in sensor networks. Therefore, there is a need to optimize the network architecture for the applications in order to minimize resources consumption. This paper compares the strategies of cluster-head selection in K-means algorithm in wireless sensor network when applied as a routing algorithm. The single-objective cluster-head selection takes account of only inter cluster distance of nodes and cluster head while multi-objective strategy considers cluster head position in cluster and distance between base station and cluster head besides inter cluster distance. The later strategy fails to provide equal distribution of energy among nodes and the results confirm our hypothesis proving single objective function as a better strategy.
