VCH-ECCR: A Centralized Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks
Table 3
A comparison on a number of control packets generated.
| | Protocol | Number of control packets generated | Reclustering/CH rotation frequency | | First round | Rest of the rounds |
| | LEACH | N + NCH | N + NCH | In every round, reclustering happens at local level. | | LEACH-C | N + 1 | N + 1 | In every round, reclustering happens at the BS level. | | BCDCP | N + 1 | N + 1 | In every round, reclustering happens at the BS level. | | VCH-ECCR | N + NCH | N + NCH+ 1 | Clustering occurs after every 1.85 rounds. See Figure 5 to see the average reclustering time for VCH-ECCR. |
