Abstract
Ad hoc sensor networks consist of large number of wireless sensors that communicate with each other in the absence of a fixed infrastructure. Fast self-reconfiguration and power efficiency are very important property on any sensor network management. The clustering problem consists in partitioning network nodes into groups called clusters, thus giving at the network a hierarchical organization. Clustering increases the scalability and the energy efficiency of communication among the sensors. A self-stabilizing algorithm, regardless of the initial system state, converges to a set of states that satisfy the problem specification without external intervention. Due to this property, self-stabilizing algorithms are adapted highly dynamic networks. In this paper we present a Self-stabilizing Clustering Algorithm for Ad hoc sensor network. Our algorithm adapts faster than other algorithms to topology changes.
