Several potential applications such as Network battlefield surveillance, environmental supervision, structural observation, etc. have been (WSN) addressed using WSNs, however, recharging and/or replacing the sensor node batteries in such hostile deployment locations is a challenging task. Various techniques have been developed to enhance the performance of WSNs through efficient routing protocols, data aggregation, topological control, as well as other networking aspects. The primary focus of this seminar is to elaborate the significance of cluster formation and cluster head election approaches. Two conflicting objectives of WSNs, energy and delay, and its optimisation approach are aimed to be discussed. In direction to the energy efficient routing protocol, the usage of Bollinger Bands for cluster head election is to be analysed for WSN.
