Abstract

In order to improve the lifetime of wireless sensor networks, solve the problem of energy imbalance in LEACH, an energy balanced wireless sensor network node routing algorithm is proposed. Firstly, the monitoring area is regarded as a fan-shaped area centered on the base station, and the fan-shaped area is divided into arc-shaped blocks with different sizes. The nodes in each arc-shaped block form a cluster. Cluster heads are generated according to the residual energy of nodes, Jump and multi-hop combination of inter-cluster communication mechanism, and finally, simulation experiments are conducted to test the performance of the algorithm. The results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the energy utilization rate of the network, balance the energy consumption of the nodes, prolong the network lifetime of the wireless sensor, which is suitable for the applications with high requirements on the network life cycle.
