Abstract

Topology control in a sensor network balances load on sensor nodes and extends network lifetime. Clustering sensor nodes is an effective topology control approach. In this paper, an improved distributed clustering approach for wireless sensor network is proposed. Our proposed protocol, IMRP(Improved Multihop Routing Protocol) , periodically selects cluster heads ac-cording to nodes intimacy, optimizes energy consumption among nodes in each clusters by using adaptive cluster head Round-Robin schema and balances energy consumption among cluster heads through a fitness routing algorithm based on a hybrid of the node residual energy and other secondary parameter, such as node proximity to its neighbors or radial angle. Simulation results show that the IMRP protocol effectively balances the energy consumption among nodes in a WSN network, eliminates the “hot spots” issues occurring in multihop routing protocols, and hence significantly increases network scalability and lifetime.
