Grid-Based Clustering Algorithm for Sensing
Haiyang Zhang, Xun Li, Xiang Ke Wang, Meng Zhang · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2012
Energy efficiency is considered as a challenge in Wireless Sense Networks because of the limited energy. In this paper a novel grid-clustering sensing algorithm, the SCA (the sensing clustering algorithm) is proposed in order to minimize energy expenditure and maximize network lifetime. Different to all conventional methods, the proposed algorithm clusters nodes depending on the sensing ability, and forms a comprehensive covered and fully connected network. Both of the theoretical analyses and the simulation indicate that the SCA reduces the energy consumption effectively.
