Abstract
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have a big potential for distributed sensing for large geographical area. The improvement of the lifetime of WSNs is the important research topic because it is considered to be difficult to change batteries of sensor nodes. Clustering communication protocols are energy-efficient because each sensor node can send its packet to the cluster head near from itself rather than the sink far from itself. In this paper, we present an energy-efficient clustering communication protocol, which chooses cluster heads based on the expected residual lifetime of each sensor node. Simulation results show that our proposed scheme increases average lifetimes of sensor nodes as much as 20% to 30% in terms of the traffic quantity and as much as 30% to 40% in terms of the scalability compared to the existing clustering communication protocol, LEACH.
