Abstract

In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), cluster networks structures have the advantage of providing scalable and energy-efficient solutions as the sensor nodes are highly energy-constrained. In this paper, we propose a dynamic clustering algorithm for WSN which is in application to event monitoring. In this clustering algorithm, the cluster head selection approach takes the received signal strength residual energy of node and distance between the cluster head and the sink node into consideration. Through this method, the cluster size is constrained and the energy consumption of intra-cluster communication is reduced. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can efficiently conserve energy and prolong the lifetime of WSN, especially when the sink node is far from the network.
