A clustering algorithm based on base station meshing for wireless sensor networks
基于基站划分网格的无线传感器网络分簇算法

A new clustering and data-gathering method, named clustering algorithm based on base station meshing (CABSM), is presented. In this algorithm, clusters are formed by virtual grids, which are carved up by base station through transmitting discrete signals in two perpendicular directions. The first Level Cluster Head is chosen by the residual energy, which collects and fuses the data in a cluster, and transmits the result to the second Level Cluster Head based on the ntercluster data-gathering method. Finally data of the entire network is sent to the base station by the second Level Cluster Head. Simulation result shows that this method provides longer network lifetime than that of low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH).
