An Algorithm for Alleviating the Effect of Hotspot on Throughput in Wireless Sensor Networks

Multilayer Clustered Designing Algorithm is exploited to present MCDA - Hot Spot algorithm; a technique to increase the network throughput by alleviating the impact of hotspot issue on network lifetime. The network nodes in the hot spot region are in a flat layer form in contrast to rest of the network nodes that are grouped into clusters. This design substantially helps in achieving goal above. This claim is proved by making its simulation-based comparison with other competing algorithms on various performance evaluation parameters.
