A Clustering Algorithm Based on Communication Facility with Deterministic Cluster-Size in WSN

Abstract

With the energy constrained nature of wireless sensors, it is a substantial design issue to make efficient use of battery power in order to increase their lifetime. Focuses on reducing energy consumption of wireless sensor network, this paper proposed CABCF-DCS (clustering algorithm based on communication facility with deterministic cluster-size) algorithm. By changing the cluster-size of the cluster based on CABCF (clustering algorithm based on communication facility) algorithm, the new algorithm achieves the purpose of saving energy ultimately. Simulation results validate the energy efficiency of the new algorithm.
