Abstract

As the communication task is a significant power consumer, there are many attempts to improve energy efficiency. Node clustering, to reduce direct transmission to the base station, is one such attempt to control data dissemination. Here, we derived the optimal number of clusters for TCCA clustering algorithm based on a realistic energy model using results in stochastic geometry.
