Abstract

A wireless sensor network is a collection of wireless nodes with sensor devices that can collect data from the real world. This is because sensor nodes usually use limited-powered batteries. Therefore, if the battery on the sensor node is exhausted, the node will no longer be available. If the battery on some nodes is discharged, the sensor network will not work properly. To maintain sensor network system, there are many wireless sensor network protocols to increase energy efficiency of nodes. One of the energy-efficient methods is cluster-based protocols. These protocols divide the sensor fields into clusters and send and receive data between nodes. Thus, depending on how the cluster is constructed, the network's lifetime may be reduced or increased. Cluster-based protocols cannot always be optimal cluster configurations. These problems have been improved using fuzzy logic. In general, fuzzy logic is used to elect cluster heads based on node residual energy, node concentration and node centrality. However, it is possible that nodes close to each other at a high density area are elected as cluster heads. In this paper, we propose a method to consider the number of adjacent cluster heads instead of Node Concentration to improve the problem.
