Multi-hop clustering protocol based on shiftwork for WSN
Huang Peng-guo · Computer Engineering and Applications Journal · 2010
To the question of Leach,such as uneven energy-consumption and low energy utilization rate,a multi-hop clustering protocol based on shiftwork for WSN(MCPS)is proposed and implemented.By taking into account communication costs of different nodes,and integrating load balancing with the idea of reducing redundant data simultaneously,MCPS improves the lack of Leach and the network performance effectively.Simulation results show that the network lifetime and energy utilization rate of MCPS gain a greater performance than the classical clustering protocol Leach.
