The characteristic of strip-based sensor network based on the application of fence anti-intrusion is analyzed.On the basis of it
a new cluster routing mechanism for this strip-based sensor network is proposed.This routing mechanism uses local information to optimize the clustering mechanism and the choice of cluster head mechanism.A node sleep mechanism based on sensing area is presented for saving the network energy.Simulation results show that when this routing mechanism applies to the strip-based sensor network
it outperforms the HEED algorithm in terms of the energy efficiency and the average energy consumption
