Energy Efficient Fuzzy Logic based Clustering Algorithms in Wireless Sensor Network: A Survey

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is a network comprised of distributed autonomous devices called sensor nodes which are capable of sensing or monitoring environmental or physical conditions. Wireless sensor networks come across many challenges such as limited battery life, data aggregation and fusion, energy aware routing, security, task scheduling, localization and optimal deployment. In wireless sensor network, fuzzy logic has been successfully used in various disciplines such as clustering, MAC protocol and deployment. This paper presents a survey of clustering techniques with fuzzy logic which associates advantages of scalability, energy conversation and localized control.
