Direct Communication, Multi-hop Routing and Clustering are main approaches that can be used for communication protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks. In this study, novel clustering algorithms which are designed for WSNs are analyzed and compared. The comparison results are also summarized with a table. Finally, the popular algorithms LEACH and LEACH-F for WSNs are compared with a novel algorithm which is low energy fixed clustering (LEFCA) in terms of network lifetime and energy-efficiency.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessWireless Sensor NetworksClustering AlgorithmsEnergy-Efficient RoutingConference ObjectN/AWOS:0004136866000022-s2.0-85025429461N/A
