Abstract
With the development of wireless communication and sensor technology, sensor network applications in various fields have been applied. To minimize the power consumption of sensors in sensor network is one of the important factors in oder to extend the system life. The power consumption of each sensor within sensor network can be different depending on the communication method between head(sink) node and its node. In this paper, we propose a new hierarchical communication method to minimize the power consumption of each sensor. The proposed method divides the area of sensor network into four areas using divide-and-conquer method and selects the nearest node to head node in each area as a child node of the node. Next the hierarchical tree in the same way is constructed recursively until each area is no longer divided. Each sensor can communicate to head node using this hierarchical tree. The proposed results were compared with the previous methods through simulation, and showed excellent results in the energy efficiency of sensor network.
