A Survey on Wireless Sensor Network Clustering Protocols Optimized via Game Theory

ABSTRACT Wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of low size, power constrained nodes that sense the environment and communicate this information through wireless links. There are a number of research issues in WSN with energy efficiency being one of the prime issues for WSN applications. In clustering-based routing protocols, cluster head selection has significant effect on performance of the protocol, along with routing technique. Game theory as a mathematical notion, being able to analyze inte ...
