TEEN Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) with Code Annotations

The TEEN (Threshold-sensitive Energy Efficient sensor Network) algorithm is an energy-efficient clustering protocol designed specifically for wireless sensor networks. This algorithm optimizes network energy consumption by dynamically adjusting cluster formation periods and node sleep cycles based on network conditions. The implementation includes detailed code annotations that explain key algorithmic components such as: cluster head selection mechanisms, hard/soft threshold calculations for data transmission, and adaptive sleep scheduling functions. These comments help clarify how the algorithm balances energy conservation with data responsiveness through techniques like threshold-based triggering and hierarchical clustering. The annotated code structure demonstrates practical implementation considerations for parameters like cluster head rotation, TDMA scheduling, and energy threshold management to enhance overall network lifetime.
