Abstract
Abstract
The research explores applying hierarchical clustering methods, namely single linkage and complete linkage, in IoT Sensor Networks (ISNs). ISNs are distributed systems comprising numerous sensor nodes that collect data from the environment and communicate with each other to transmit the data to a base station. Hierarchical clustering is a technique that groups nodes into clusters based on proximity and similarity. This paper implements and compares the performance of single linkage and complete linkage methods in terms of cluster size, network lifetime, and cluster quality. The study’s findings provide guidance for ISN researchers and designers in selecting the appropriate clustering method that meets their specific requirements.
