Due to the limited energy resources of sensor node, energy conservation has become one of the key in the design of route in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In this paper, we propose a distance clustering routing algorithm considering energy (DCE), which selects cluster heads and construct multi-hop route according to the distance factor and the energy factor. Simulation results show that DCE can save energy and the saving energy can contribute to prolonging the network lifetime. Compared with LEACH, DCE has a better performance in energy consumption and network lifetime.
