conference contribution

Proper organization of nodes (clustering) is one of the major techniques to expand the lifespan of the whole network through aggregating data at the cluster head. The cluster head is the backbone of the entire cluster. That means if a cluster head fails to accomplish its function, the received and collected data by cluster head can be lost. Moreover, the energy consumption following direct communications from sources to base stations will be increased. In this paper, we propose a type-2 fuzzy based self-configurable cluster head selection (SCCH) approach to not only consider the selection criterion of the cluster head but also present the cluster backup approach. Thus, in case of cluster failure, the system still works in an efficient way. The novelty of this protocol is the ability of handling communication uncertainty, which is an inherent operational aspect of sensor networks. The experiment results indicate SCCH performs better than other recently developed methods.
