A Review on Clustering Approaches for Wireless Sensor Network using Mobile Sink

  Ketki Singla,  Deepinder Kaur

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a network which consists of different sensor nodes, where each sensor node has in-build storage and processing but its battery is not rechargeable. Main function of sensor nodes is to sense the environment, send the sensed data to the base station (BS), BS then further sends the data to the user through internet via gateway. There are several issues in WSN but the main issue is to conserve the energy of the nodes and to increase the lifetime of the network. So, the energy efficient clustering is adopted now days to conserve the energy and to overcome the hotspot problem. In clustering, sensor nodes are splitted into different clusters of equal and unequal sizes. This paper analyses the various works done in this field regarding efficient clustering approaches in WSN. Also concept of mobile sink is being discussed and all papers are analysed for their merits and demerits.
