Abstract

In order to reduce channel contention, support scalability and prolong the lifetime of the sensor networks, sensor nodes are often grouped into clusters. Algorithm for Cluster Establishment (ACE) is a clustering algorithm for sensor networks that uses three rounds of feedback to induce the formation of a highly efficient cover of uniform clusters over the network. In this paper, we present an optimizing algorithm for minimizing the cluster overlap of ACE. Simulation shows the proposed algorithm can efficiently eliminate the redundant cluster heads and minimize the cluster overlap.
