Description
Summary:his paper presents an Energy-efficient distributed algorithm of the Clustering technique Based on Location-independent node for mobile wireless sensor networks. A network deployment strategy is adopted, which mobile nodes are random deployment and fixed nodes are grid deployment. Mobile nodes choose the closest fixed nodes to form a cluster, and choose the node which is closest to fixed node among mobile nodes with higher remaining energy as cluster head. The cluster head selection strategy is energy-efficient and avoids cluster head moving out a cluster. The cluster head is responsible for collecting sensory data from all cluster members and performing data integration, fixed nodes construct routing backbones for data forwarding, and finally deliver collected data to sink node. Clusters formed by this algorithm are with the same size and evenly distributed location, meanwhile, low reliability probably caused by choosing mobile nodes as backbone routing is reduced, the routing implementation is simple but energy-balancing.
