In any type of networks a neighbour selection method is needed to form the topology of the network and to know which node the information has to be sent to reach a destination. Nowadays, several selection strategies exist that are based on different aspects and mainly designed to work in common networks. In this paper we will show our study about those different methods and, then we show the development of a suitable neighbour selection strategy for group-based wireless sensor networks (WSN) that is based on a capacity parameter defined by us and the new neighbour distance. We also present the proposal architecture for WSNs and the protocol when a new node joins a group and has to select its neighbours.
