Research of cluster-based multi-hop routing protocol
基于聚簇的多跳路由协议的研究

In order to adapt to the application of large-scale wireless sensor network and further balance the load of each node, a Cluster Based Multi-hop Routing Protocol (CBMRP) was proposed. This protocol was based on the concept of clustering. Cluster heads first fused data collected by member nodes. Then on the basis of a simple heuristic function and the residual energy of the gateways, they selected appropriate gateways, through which to route the fused data among clusters, and finally transmit to the base station. Because this protocol takes account of reducing redundant data and balancing power consumption during transmission, it can further prolong the lifetime of the whole network.
