Cluster Density of Dependent Thinning Distributed Clustering Class of Algorithms in Ad Hoc Deployed Wireless Networks

Distributed clustering is widely used in ad hoc deployed wireless networks. Distributed clustering algorithms like DMAC, HEED, MEDIC, ANTCLUST-based, and EDCR produce well-distributed Cluster Heads (CHs) using dependent thinning techniques where a node’s decision to be a CH depends on the decision o...
