Overview: This paper presents an energy-efficient distributed clustering approach for ad-hoc sensor networks. The approach is hybrid: cluster heads are randomly selected based on their residual energy, and nodes join clusters such that communication cost is minimized. Based on this approach, the paper introduces the HEED protocol, which terminates in a constant number of iterations, independent of the network diameter. HEED operates in quasi-stationary networks where nodes are location-unaware and have equal significance.
