Now , I am going to design dense wireless sensor network that including different nodes,cluster header, and sink node to measure the consumption energy at area near sink node and throughput.
Dear Hisham, the difference between simple sensor node and sink node is that, the sink node is responsible to work as a leader or base station in network. Sink node collects the data from normal sensor nodes and send it for further processing. On the other hand the concept of cluster head is that, we make a group of sensor like a cluster and then the border node select as a cluster head to communicate with neighbor cluster head. Clustering is a type of grouping. Sink node and cluster head are different in operations.
Thank you so much .Can you setting a sink node or cluster header in QualNet?
Yes you can set but my suggestion is for you check NS-2.34. It is a good simulator for sensor networks.
