Due to the characteristics of energy-limited, how to reduce the energy consumption of the wireless sensors network has become the crucial point. Research shows that it can reduce energy consumption to organize the nodes in the network into a hierarchical cluster structure. This paper synthetically analyzes several existing cluster algorithms, and then proposes an energy-efficient and variation-sensitive clustering algorithm. This algorithm makes some modification on the basis of some existing classical clustering algorithms. In order to reduce energy consumption, we adopt some special measures to form cluster, elect cluster head and change the way in which the sense data is constantly sent to cluster head by non-cluster head node.
