Design and Analysis of a Fast Local Clustering Service for Wireless Sensor Networks.
Broadband Wireless Networking Symposium ,
BroadNets 2004.
Experiments We implemented FLOC on the Mica2 mote platform using the TinyOS programming suite.
Code for the sensor motes:
FLOC program
FLOC header
Transmission power test program
Transmission power test header
5-by-5 grid topology
Simulations
We simulated our clustering algorithm using Prowler, a MATLAB based, event-driven simulator for wireless sensor network. Prowler simulates the radio transmission/propagation/reception delays of Mica2 motes, including collisions in ad-hoc radio networks, and the operation of the MAC-layer.
Code for the simulations:
Floc program
