Abstract
In two-tiered sensor networks using relay nodes, sensor nodes are arranged in clusters and the higher-powered relay nodes can be used as cluster heads. The lifetime of the networks is determined primarily by the lifetime of the relay nodes. Clustering techniques and routing schemes play a crucial role in determining the useful network lifetime. Traditionally, the clustering and the routing problems, for these networks, have been considered independently and solved separately. In this paper, we present a new integer linear program (ILP) formulation that jointly optimizes both clustering and routing to maximize the lifetime of such networks. We show that our integrated approach can lead to significant improvements over techniques that consider clustering and routing separately, particularly for the non-flow-splitting (single-path) routing model. We also propose a heuristic, based on LP-relaxation of the routing variables, which can be used for larger networks.
