Energy Efficient Clustering Algorithm with Multi-hop Transmission

The wireless sensor network is an autonomous collection of sensors which makes a simple, high speed and inexpensive network. These kinds of network are able to monitor a parameter where the coverage is impossible via wired networks. Since, the sensors in wireless networks are equipped with batteries, these networks are energy constrained and clustering approaches play an important role in energy efficiency and prolonging network's lifetime. In this paper, an energy efficient algorithm is presented for wireless sensor networks. EECMT (Energy Efficient Clustering with Multi-hop Transmission) employs the wireless sensor network's characteristics. In addition to energy consumption, load balancing and network's scalability have been taken into account. Simulation results illustrate that network's lifetime has been optimized to 86% in clustered sensor networks.
