Abstract
In this paper, we constructed a sensor network environment where various sensors are used. Then, we evaluated the performance when this environment adopted existing clustering algorithms that are designed for only single type sensors network. In our experiments, we considered two different types of the networks. In the first, all nodes are equipped with identical sensors. In the second, all nodes are equipped with three different types of sensors. We measured performance variations of several clustering schemes in accordance with sensor data accuracy, sensor node resource depletion timing, amount of available energy, node isolation ratio, and network lifetime. According to our performance analysis, we proved that existing clustering algorithms are partially inefficient to maintain the various-sensor network. Consequently we suggest that a new algorithm is required to take aim at the various sensor network.
