Abstract
A method for configuring a cluster may comprise selecting cluster members from among a plurality of communication nodes; identifying radio signal strength deviations between the cluster members; generating sensor groups by classifying the cluster members according to sensor types; selecting a head candidate group and a sensor candidate group of each of the sensor groups based on the radio signal strength deviations; selecting a cluster head in the head candidate group; selecting operating sensor nodes in the sensor candidate group; and configuring one among the operating sensor nodes as a virtual device, wherein the virtual device operates to transmit information obtained from the operating sensor nodes to the cluster head.
