Abstract: "Wireless Sensor Networks" (WSNs) representa collection of many deployed sensors utilized to collect and transfer information. WSNs have many vital applications. WSNs have received increasing consideration in this era due to their useful and vital applications. The main objective of this study is to simulate, evaluate and observe the behavior of a developed clusteringapproach and compare its performance metrics with the DB-scan algorithmin a suggestedWSNs. In this study all the cluster sensor nodes must sensing certain data and must transmit it. These data will be collected at particular nodes known as Cluster Heads (CH) that is previously assigned for each cluster. The CH aggregates the data and forwards it to the base station or a node sink. Many performance metrics can be used to Measurethe performance of the suggested WSN such as NRL, PDF, End-to-end and throughput. Evaluation of the developed clustering algorithm implementation shows certain improvement percentage compared to DB-scan algorithm. Net Logo (5.2.1 version 2015) programming language is suggested to be the multi agent modeling and simulation approach in this study.
