Exploring Clustering Algorithms for Internet of Things: A Review

Deepak Jyoti

Abstract: In networking, the IOT is a major shift that helps to attach nearly all items on the world. Energy efficient routing will play a crucial part in the effective implementation of these systems, given the limited existence of smart devices. Clustering techniques organize the network nodes into groups or clusters, and the cluster head is accountable for the particular assigned node. In the sense of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), clustering techniques have been especially proposed, but their implementation can also answer related problems Internet of Things (IoT). By assigning big portions of coordination overhead to the cluster head, clustering could promote energy-efficient routing and configuration management. This article describes a comparison of existing clustering protocols depend on various parameters such as energy efficiency, scalability, etc of different IoT domains and proposes suitable cluster analysis for each domain.
