	abstract = {A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is composed of a large number of autonomous and compact devices called sensor nodes. This network can be an effective tool for gathering data in a variety of environments. However, these sensor nodes have some constraints due to their limited energy, storage capacity and computing power. Clustering is a kind of a technique which is used to reduce energy consumption and to extend network lifetime. Hence, multi-hop communication is often required when the communication range of the sensor nodes is limited or the number of sensor nodes is very large in a network. In this paper, we propose a multi-hop spectral clustering algorithm to organize the sensor nodes in a WSN into clusters. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm performs better in reducing the energy consumption of sensors and effectively improves the WSN lifetime.},
