Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 電子工程系 === 94 === The energy consumption is the most important issue in the wireless sensor network. In order to extend the lifetime of the wireless sensor network, clustering technique is considered as an effective way to achieve the power conservation, network scalability and load balance. In this paper, we present PADCP (Power-Aware Dynamic Cluster Protocol) which is low energy clustering network architecture to increase the network lifetime and to improve the performance of transceiver by adding several adaptive schemes: dynamic cluster range, dynamic transmission power, and cluster-heads re-election. Besides, our PADCP also improves the load balance when the sensor nodes are non-uniform dispersion. In addition, the mobility of the sensors is also taken into consideration in this paper. The experimental result proves that our proposed method is effective in saving power and load balance.
