Abstract:
Now a day, wireless sensor networks play a key
role in smart building systems by providing the “real
time” information to the system. In resource constrained wireless sensor networks, it is veryimportant to design the protocols with energy
efficiencyin order to prolong the lifetime of the sensor
networks. Node clusteringand data aggregation
become popular since cluster-based sensornetwork can
enhance the whole network throughput by
aggregatingthe collected sensory information in each
cluster. In sucha network, the cluster head nodes play
an important role inforwarding data originated from
other common nodes to the sink.As a consequence, the
cluster head nodes will have the problem ofquick
energy depletion upon multiple packets forwarding in
highdata load sensor networks. In this paper, we
proposed an algorithm for routing protocol whch is an integration of clustering and routing in wireless sensor
networks. Simulationresults are provided to show the
efficacy of the proposed methodin terms of the
throughput and end-to-end delay.
