Employing clustering techniques in routing protocols can improve the scalability of wireless sensor networks. To solve the “hotspot” problem that is caused by the cluster heads close to the sink
which are burdened with heavy relay traffic via multi-hop communication and tend to die earlier and that leads to the network being partitioned
a novel cell energy balanced uneven clustering hierarchy scheme(CEB-UC)is presented. In CEB-UC
the entire network has been divided into some cells reasonably such that the number of clusters in each cell is different
and that the number of nodes in each cluster is different. The clusters closer to the sink node have fewer nodes than those farther away from the sink node. Thus these cluster heads can preserve some energy for inter-cluster data relaying. Compared with some classical clustering protocols
such as HEED
LEACH
PEGASIS
EAR-ACM
simulation results show that CEB-UC outperforms significantly in optimizing the cluster heads' energy consumption
balancing the nodes' energy consumption and enlarging the diameter of the entire network. When different data aggregation strategies are employed by the sensor nodes
the cluster heads'energy consumption is reduced by 17%-41%
and the network lifetime is prolonged by 24%-53%.
