Abstract

In recent wireless sensor network is in trends because of its applications in various fields or to the collection of data from the remote or unreachable areas. Clustering introduced in WSN to overcome the problems those are comes in traditional networks like the battery life of the sensors, lifetime of the networks, etc. These are the general problems in the traditional networks but with the help of clustering, we can reduce or overcome these problems. Clustering provides various advantages like Limited Energy, Network Lifetime, Limited Abilities, Secure Communication, etc.
