Energy-saving algorithm for wireless sensor network based on family clustering algorithm

By transplanting the algorithms for other traditional network,analyzing security issues in per-designed protocols for wireless sensor network, or designing brand new security schemes, researchers focused on this field have already proposed many security mechanisms as key management, security routing, security authentication or reliable transport. As we can see, enhancing the security of the network indeed will scarify the energy consumption. So, how to balance the "energy consumption" and "security issue" is the most important research direction in the future, this paper firstly analyzes the shortcomings of traditional clustering algorithms, and proposes an energy-saving algorithm for wireless sensor networks based on family clustering algorithms. The role-membership relationship is determined by the remaining energy of the node and the sink node. This chapter realizes the energy-based two-way selection between the node and the sink node, which mainly solves the problem of unbalanced energy consumption and load in the wireless sensor network.
