Research on Clustering Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks

This paper presents a new algorithm to reduce network energy consumption and extend network life cycle, the methods such as adding supplementary nodes, improving the probability of cluster node becoming cluster head, and improving the inter-cluster transmission method are mainly utilized. The problems of node energy loss too fast, network energy consumption imbalance, and energy consumption from cluster head to base station are solved. Simulation results show that the new algorithm proposed in this paper improves 17 times and 28.3% in data transmission, 88.5% and 8.7% in prolonging the network lifecycle, and 62.4% and 35.9% in reducing the energy loss of the network compared with the LEACH algorithm and DEEC algorithm.
