Chen Wei-hon · Control Engineering of China · 2014
For the issues of node mobility and energy efficiency in mobile sensor networks(MSNs),an algorithm of clustering based on Time Division Multiplexing Access and event triggering is proposed.For the application background of the mobile network,the proposed algorithm combines analyzing the remaining energy of nodes and the mobility of the cluster head with TDMA to achieve perform clustering.It can reduce the number of clusters reconstruction in MSM,balance the node energy consumption effectively and prolong the lifetime time of the network.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has reduced the number of cluster reconstruction by 6.0 % in comparison with CBVRP and prolonged the lifetime by 10 % against MCR.
