Link-aware clustering mechanism (LCM) is to support energy efficient routing in WSNs. The
main goal of the LCM is to establish a persistent and reliable routing path by determining
proper nodes to become cluster-heads and gateways. In the LCM, cluster-head and gateway
candidates use the node status (e.g., residual energy) and link condition (e.g., quality) to
determine a clustering metric, called the predicted transmission count and additionally the
bandwidth is also considered. The cluster head or gateway candidate having the highest priority
is elected as a cluster-head or a gateway, respectively. The main contribution of this project is
that it proposes a link aware clustering mechanism, and the proposed mechanism can support
energy-efficient routing. Simulation results confirm that the LCM can achieve a high packet
delivery ratio, extend the network lifetime, and reduce transmission latency.
