Akankshu,

if (clusterhead)
{
//do something
}
else //!clusterhead
{
//do something
}

Look at the micaz NESDOC (google nesdoc)for how to turn off the receiver
for the radio.
The real problem you are going to run into is how does the
non-clusterheads know when to become the new clusterhead if they turn
off their radio. If it's timing based, you need to synchronize their
clocks periodically (which requires all nodes to have the receiver
enabled). If the receivers are always turned off, you will not be able
receive ACKs, so the transmitting node will have no idea if it's data
actually reached the clusterhead or not (this can lead to very poor PRRs
at your sink).

Hi All
I am trying to implement a clustering algorithm and for that I want to
make sure that the Receive mechanism applies only to the clusterhead.
Regular Nodes:
- samples data
- Transmit packets every few seconds
Clusterhead
- samples the data
- Receives regular node packets
- processes the data (including its own as well as received)
- then transmits to the base station its results
Since they both have the same sampling process I want to have the same
code and just switch behavior at time intervals on whether its a
clusterhead or just a regular node (state maintenance).
I have a question:
1. How do I make sure that the same piece of code behaves differently
at different nodes depending on whether its the clusterhead or not ?
How do I restrict this receive mechanism to only clusterheads ? I am
basically talking about a state variable for the cluster .
Please guide me
Thanks
Akankshu
