An Efficient Routing Algorithm based on K-means++ Clustering and Fuzzy for Wireless Sensor Network
Lin Li, Donghui Li, Li Ding · 2018
A wireless sensor network is an distributed self-organizing network with a number of sensor nodes in the monitoring area. The key issue of developing a wireless sensor network with good performance is how to reduce the energy consumption and prolong the lifetime of the network for seeing that the energy of nodes supplied by batteries are limited. We propose an efficient routing algorithm for wireless sensor network named ERA in this paper. In the ERA, firstly, the whole network are divided in several clusters with clustering algorithm. Then the cluster heads are selected in the corresponding clusters with our designed fuzzy logical system. The simulation illustrates that, comparing with the existed routing algorithms such as LEACH, LEACH-C and SEP, the ERA prolongs the network lifetime (first node dies) by 67%.
