Abstract

In order to solve the problems of unbalanced energy consumption and shortened network lifetime caused by the uneven distribution of cluster heads (CHs)in wireless sensor networks, a Limited IST and Random Uniform Clustering Algorithm (LIRUCA) is proposed. The algorithm comprehensively considers the energy of nodes, the distance to the sink, and the correlation between nodes when selecting CHs, and limits the intra-cluster communication distance, thus improving the uniformity of CH distribution. Compared with LEACH, EBCRP, and LEACH-improved protocols, results of simulation experiments show that the LIRUCA algorithm can effectively improve the uniformity of clustering, reduce the energy consumption, and prolong the network lifetime.
