Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks (MWSNs) is an emerging technology that senses the data through mobile sensor nodes. As they are mobile in nature they change their position from time to time in a sensing area. Energy efficiency is a major challenge in Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks as the node consumes energy during mobility, data transmission and data reception. Clustering is an energy efficient technique to reduce the energy consumption of the nodes. This paper explains about the energy efficient clustering algorithms in Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks that have been proposed earlier by the authors in different journals and further compares the energy consumption of the network based on time. This paper analyses the result based on existing energy efficient Clustering algorithms like Enhanced Energy Efficient Clustering Algorithm (EEECA), Grid based Energy Efficient Clustering Algorithm (GEECA) and Density based Mean Grid Energy Efficient Clustering Algorithm (DMGEECA) for Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks.

MWSN, Clustering, Grid, Density, Mobility, Energy Efficiency

Energy Efficiency is a major task in Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks which is resolved through the Clustering technique. The study deals with various Energy Efficient Clustering algorithms like EEECA, GEECA and DMGEECA. The ultimate purpose of those algorithms is to reduce the Energy Consumption and maximize the Network Lifetime. The results of the existing algorithms are confined to give better result. The performances of three algorithms EEECA, GEECA and DMGEECA discussed in this paper. Here Energy Efficient Clustering algorithm reduces the Energy Consumption of the nodes increases the lifetime of the nodes thereby increasing the lifetime of the Network. DMGEECA algorithm is more efficient in terms of Energy Consumption of the Clusters than EEECA and GEECA.
