Abstract. In this paper, we study the two-tiered wireless sensor network (WSN) architecture and propose the optimal cluster association algorithm for it to maximize the overall net...
— Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have recently received increasing attention from research and development communities. In a WSN, the field information (e.g., temperature, humi...
