Clustering technique is an effective topology control approach which can improve the scalability and lifetime in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). LEACH is a classical clustering algorithm for low energy scheme, however, it still have some deficiencies. This paper studies LEACH protocol, and put an Improved LEACH protocol which has more reasonable set-up phase. In the cluster heads election phase,...
Energy efficiency and data reliability have always been the key problem in WSN. In this paper, firstly, a selection of cluster head algorithm is designed which is able to detect the energy change of nodes, rapidly ascertain new cluster head, and avoid excessive energy consumption between cluster head and cluster nodes. Secondly, differentiated service is introduced in our algorithm which makes achieve...
Clustering is a widely discussed as an important architecture for data centric wireless sensor networks. Low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH), proposed in past, is used as benchmark scheme by many proposals and its performance is widely studied in the literature, over last few years. The probabilistic and randomized clusterhead selection strategy results in variable number of clusterheads...
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) have been considered as a promising method for reliably monitoring both civil and military environments under hazardous or dangerous conditions. Due to such environments, the power supplies for sensors in the network are not usually rechargeable or replaceable. Therefore, the energy efficiency is critical for the lifetime and cost of WSN. Numerous mechanisms have been...
A cluster-based routing scheme for wireless sensor networks featuring adjustable cluster size is proposed in this article. Aimed at the reduction of power consumption, the proposed scheme is designed to adjust cluster sizes on the fly such that communication loads can be evenly shared by individual nodes, and consequently extend the lifetime of an entire sensor network. In the proposed scheme, named...
The optimal number of cluster heads is an important parameter of wireless sensor network performance. Network nodes will consume more energy if the number of cluster heads is too much or too little. This paper focuses on novel calculation method for optimal number of cluster heads. Base on the analysis of LEACH energy dissipation model, novel calculation method is derived from the total energy dissipation...
Clustering is an effective approach to enhance performance in large-scale wireless sensor networks. SMCA (small-world model based clustering algorithm), a new clustering algorithm for wireless sensor networks is proposed in this paper, with high clustering coefficient and fault-tolerant properties. SMCA selectively remove some links in a virtual way by the analysis of the edges' clustering coefficient...
Hundreds or thousands of wireless sensor nodes with limited energy resource are randomly scattered in the observation fields to extract the data messages for users. Because their energy resource cannot be recharged, energy efficiency becomes one of the most important problems. LEACH is an energy efficient protocol by grouping nodes into clusters and using cluster heads (CH) to fuse data before transmitting...
