Abstract
Routing algorithm is one of the key technologies of wireless sensor network. Based on the LEACH algorithm, the second choice of cluster head algorithm for WSN is proposed. It takes into account the cluster head as residual energy and distance to BS, and then it chooses a senior cluster head. The improved algorithm avoids direct communication between BS and the cluster head which has low energy and is far away from BS, which prolongs the lifetime of network and enhances the ability of data collection. The experiments show that this technique of event-driven can cut down the data transmission and further extend the lifetime of network.
