Title
Systematic selection of cluster heads for data collection
Abstract
We present a systematic approach to selecting cluster heads (CHs) in networked sensing systems for data aggregation based on the idea of dominating sets of a graph. A set of vertices, D of a graph G=(V,E) is a k-dominating set if every vertex v@?V, is connected to some vertex in D via path of length less than or equal to k. By focusing on regular mesh topologies, in which each node has q neighbors, q=3,4,6,8, we demonstrate an intuitive approach for identifying the CHs. If E is the energy required for a node to send a message to a collection point, e is the energy required to send a similar message to its adjacent node in the system, and C is the compression ratio achieved by aggregation techniques at a CH, we show that CHs selected in our approach are viable whenever k
