Minimizing the energy dissipation and maximizing the network lifetime is an important design issue in WSN. Clustering is the widely used energy effective technique to lessen the overall energy consumption of WSN. An appropriate selection of cluster heads (CHs) and cluster size is a crucial process in clustered WSN. The CHs nearer to base station (BS) suffer from hot spot problem and die earlier than the normal lifetime. This paper contributes a five input fuzzy\u2010based unequal clustering protocol (F5NUCP) for selecting CHs and determining the appropriate cluster size to prevent the network from hot spot problem. Unequal clusters eliminates the hot spot problem by producing smaller clusters for the nodes located near the BS and larger clusters for the nodes located far away from the BS. F5NUCP uses a nonprobabilistic approach for selecting tentative CHs by introducing a back\u2010off timer where the timer value is set using the remaining energy of the node. The proposed method uses five input parameters, namely, remaining energy, distance to BS, distance to its neighboring nodes, link quality, and node degree. The output fuzzy parameters used in this research are cluster size and the probability of becoming CHs. The proposed method is implemented in MATLAB. The simulation results show that F5NUCP performs well when compared with LEACH, DEEC, TEEN, and EAUCF in terms of network lifetime and reduced energy consumption.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/dac.3811","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,27]],"date-time":"2018-09-27T01:13:33Z","timestamp":1538010813000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":55,"title":["F5N\u2010based unequal clustering protocol (F5NUCP) for wireless sensor networks"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9752-2395","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sariga","family":"Arjunan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science Pondicherry University Puducherry India"}]},{"given":"Sujatha","family":"Pothula","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science Pondicherry University Puducherry India"}]},{"given":"Dhavachelvan","family":"Ponnurangam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science Pondicherry University Puducherry India"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/313451.313556"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/047011276X"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.adhoc.2008.06.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1389-1286(01)00302-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"ZhaoF LiuJ LiuJJ GuibasL ReichJ.Collaborative signal and informa\u2010tion processing: an information directed approach inProc.
