Optimised Clustering Technique Based Chimpanzee Behaviour and Fittest Clusterhead Routing Technique for Lifetime Enhancement of Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

In this paper Clustering is executed using a new approach that is influenced by the herd behaviour of Chimpanzees. They live in groups that comprise of 20 to 100 members in a group called communities. They tend to form small groups while travelling. The social structure composition is such that the males are the core of the structure that performs the primary duties such as patrolling, protecting and searching for food for other members. Males are said to be dominant and they form coalitions to maintain their dominance. Low ranking males continuously shift allegiance towards the dominant males who eventually lead the group.
