Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) deploys a large amount number of nodes into its monitored range, where watchers can monitor the real-time environment parameter by compressing packets transferred by the cluster head nodes from local regions. In WSN, the resource of energy is restricted. Energy efficient clustering solutions are required to keep a long lifetime and enough data packets by extending the run time of CHs. In this paper, we propose a novel clustering solution to improve the selection and rotation of CHs. The presented solution includes two key parts: a new cluster selection based on the distance to the energy-centroid of the cluster and a new cluster rotation solution based on the residual energy level of the node in order to evenly distribute the energy load among all sensors nodes. In particular, the distance between the node and the energy-centroid in EEC when it comes to the rotation of the cluster head node. Our simulation is based on the platform NS-2. The simulate part presents the performance comparison among EEC and the conventional protocols such as LEACH and LEACH-C in terms of energy efficient, the network lifetime and data packets received by the BS. It is worth noting that EEC outperforms the existing protocols from our simulation results.
