Description
Summary:A sensor network has many sensor nodes with limited energy. One of the important issues in these networks is the increase of the life time of the network. This article proposes a hybrid algorithm which acts on the network and using genetic algorithm at first stage, to choose the best sensors as a cluster head and using sleep/wake up mechanism for redundant sensors in the second stage. This algorithm will balance the energy consumption in the network and improve the network life time and coverage preservation.
