## 3 Self-Configuration Management (SCM)
### Network Model & Problem Sanrio Preliminaries  
IRIS sensor units, which may be dispersed randomly or in a set location around the environment, have been used to design a wireless sensor network. The network employs a multi-hop method for sensor transmission. The network should be set up using existing wireless network deployment and training procedures. A representative node is chosen to serve as the cluster head (CH) for each cluster, and a predetermined number of clusters (C) are also set. A distributed method is created when the cluster leaders make local decisions based on data received by cluster members and convey these decisions to the base station (BS). Each sensor node in the sensor network has a specific identification number and is aware of its location. Using the LEACH routing protocol, the group members broadcast beacon messages across the network during the mobility phase. Aggregation nodes are inserted into the network to remedy system flaws. These nodes reduce the number of messages sent between nodes and conserve energy by receiving data from malfunctioning nodes, processing it, and then sending the filtered data to the following hop. Communication between sensor nodes inside a cluster passes through the CH until it reaches the base station. Sensor nodes are grouped into clusters with a CH acting as the leader. Through specified Mac & IP addresses of the clustering devices, the CH may identify working devices and available aggregation devices in the network. Additionally, it can track the development of ongoing processes and receive alerts when both processes are finished.  
The sensor nodes can communicate with one another using the fundamental one-to-many transmission mechanism. It is assumed that each sensor node's transmission range is the same. The network was built during the implementation of the specified network assumptions and complies with the international resource identification system (IRIS) for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Data is transferred by the IRIS sensors at a rate of 250 kb/s. Two AA batteries (3 V) with a current capacity of 2200 mAh\({}^{-1}\) are required to power each sensor [13]. The initial battery capacity is calculated using the formula battery capacity = 3 \(\times\) 2.2 \(\times\) 3600. The processor's computational capacity, when in full operation mode, can reach up to 7.37 MHz.  
During deployments, the communication model generated a random network topology. In the transmission range Tr of Ci, each sensor node is referred to as a connected cluster. Any sensor node located within Tr of Ci's communication range is referred to as a linked cluster. When two sensor nodes are connected, the healthy sensor is given the job of the damaged sensor if the distance between Sensor Si and its neighboring Sensor Sj is smaller than DTr in fault status. Each node in the sensor network, if it is tightly connected, is a member of the cluster and has a set of nearby sensor nodes (SNegi). It stores the information locally in memory and sends it to its leaders for evaluation.  
By defining Ci as the ratio between the total number of sensor nodes covered by the configuration in the network provided and the sum of all the sensor nodes' degrees, the average degree of adaptation of the configured sensor nodes during the operational cycles was computed as:  
\[D_{CONF.}=\sum_{l=1}^{N}N_{CONF.}/N_{i} \tag{1}\]
