Abstract

Cluster formation and cluster head selection are important problems in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and can drastically affect the network´s communication energy dissipation. Moreover, in WSNs, the bad usage of the energy shortens the operation time of sensors and consequently the network lifetime. In this work, we propose a fuzzy-based simulation system for WSNs, in order to calculate the lifetime of a sensor by considering the remaining battery power, sleep time rate and transmission time rate. We evaluate the system by MATLAB simulations and show that it has a good behaviour for measuring sensor lifetime.
