Abstract

This paper proposes dynamic clustering for coverage-time maximization (DC-CTM) in sensor networks. The coverage-time is defined as the time until one of cluster heads (CHs) runs out of energy in clustering-based sensor networks. DC-CTM regulates cluster radii for balanced energy consumption among CHs for coverage-time maximization. By using DC-CTM, three advantages can be achieved. The first one is balanced energy consumption among CHs. The second one is minimized energy consumption in each CH. The last one is the consideration of mobility on CHs. The novelty of proposed scheme, DC-CTM scheme, is shown by various simulation-based performance analyses
