Abstract

In this paper, we utilize clustering to achieve energy efficiency for the on–off wireless sensor network, whose member nodes alternate between active and inactive states. In the proposed Distributed and Energy Efficient Self Organization (DEESO) scheme, the head election is adjusted adaptively to the remaining battery levels of local active nodes, which is a completely distributed approach compared to LEACH that relying on other routing schemes to access global information. Furthermore, we apply the Adaptive Channel Assignment (ACA) to address the on-off topology changes. Simulation results show that DEESO delivers 184% amount of data to the base station as LEACH for the same amount of energy consumption and the effective network lifetime is extended by around 50%.
