Abstract

See full text

Technologies are generally described for clusterhead selection in a communication network. In an example, a first node may be configured to send a first responsibility and availability. In some examples, the first responsibility indicates a responsibility attributed to the second node to be the clusterhead for the first node. In some examples, the first availability indicates an availability of the first node to be the clusterhead for the second node. In some examples, the first node is effective to receive a second responsibility and availability; the second responsibility indicating a responsibility attributed to the first node to be the clusterhead for a second node; the second availability indicating an availability of the second node to be the clusterhead for the first node. In some examples, the first node is effective to determine the clusterhead based on the first and second responsibility and the first and second availability.
