Efficient Cluster Head Election in Surveillance Reconnaissance Sensor Network

- Using a wireless sensor network, variety applications are being developed. In this paper, considering the field of military surveillance and reconnaissance sensors in the network for network configuration in the clustering method to elect a cluster head is about technology. Clustering of a sensor nodes elect to cluster head from among the sensor nodes and cluster heads to the sink node is configured a clustering. In addition, bridge node that is cluster head role is elected for network connection. To validate the cluster head election algorithm was used Qualnet simulator, the experiment was to apply the algorithm to the actual node in the Testbed that installed in building. Future, considering the energy of cluster head selection and relative energy consumption after a period of time to consider how to change the cluster head and considering the network connection, select the best node to bridge that additional research should be performed.
