To reduce energy consumption while nodes are competitiving cluster head in WSNs clustering routing protocol and solve the problem of unbalanced energy consumption
present a novel uneven clustering algorithm based on time delay mechanism. This algorithm can guarantee the node with high remaining energy to be chosen as the cluster head nodes in priority
besides this
propose computation method of cluster head competitive radius
to ensure a constant number of cluster heads and the cluster heads are well scattered. In cluster process
nodes select cluster heads according to least consumption function
while in cluster member is joining in
consider factors of energy of cluster head
distance and clusher head and sink node angle. Simulation results show that the algorithm can effectively balance energy consumption of nodes
prolong network lifetime
it prolongs 35. 1 % and 12. 9 % lifetime compared with CHTD and EEUC algorithm.
