| Node | CH | Explication |
| x | u | Node x selects u as CH because it has the lowest metric from its neighborhood. Therefore x becomes a simple node. |
| z | z | Node z has no more neighbors therefore it stays CH. |
| u | u | Node u becomes CH because it has the lowest metric from its neighborhood. |
| t | u | Node t changes its state from CH to a simple node because no node chooses t as cluster head and node u has the lowest metric from its neighborhood |
