Cluster and Cluster Tree Simulator
| Version | Features |
|---|---|
| Ver 5 | Basic HHC and SHC clustering.
Breadth first tree formation. |
| Ver 6 | Multi-hop HHC clustering.
Breadth first tree formation. Hierarchical cluster addresses. Use energy model. |
| Ver 6 KPD | HHC clustering.
Basic key predistribution based cluster tree formation. See also version 8 KPD. |
| Ver 7 | HHC clustering.
Breadth first tree formation. Hierarchical cluster addresses. RSSI based clustering. Consider collisions among nodes while broadcasting. A candidate cluster head will respond to the cluster head only if its neighbors do not respond. Use enrgy model. Multi-hop and single-hop inter-cluster communication. |
| Ver 8 | HHC & SHC clustering .
Breadth First tree formation. Hierarchical cluster addresses. Consider collisions among nodes while broadcasting. RSSI based clustering & noise in RSSI readings. A candidate cluster head will respond to the cluster head only if its neighbors do not respond. Use energy model. Multi-hop and single-hop inter-cluster communication. Cluster and tree optimization phase. Circularity calculation. Cluster tree, cross-links, & circular-paths based routing. Virtual sensor network formation & inter-VSN communication. |
| Ver 8 KPD | Use random and combinatorial kep-predisreibution.
HHC clustering. Breadth First tree formation. Hierarchical cluster addresses. Consider collisions among nodes while broadcasting. RSSI based clustering. A candidate cluster head will respond to the cluster head only if its neighbors do not respond. |
| Utilities | Node generator - Generate network topology.
Key generator - Generate keys for key-predistribution. Process data - Process circularity, STD, etc. Display nodes - Display nodes, cluster tree, & VSN graphically. Code is based on C#. |
