An Adjustable Cluster-based Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor networks consist of many small sensor nodes with sensing, computation, and wireless communications capabilities. Recently, there have been numerous research results in the power consumption for routing protocol. Routing protocols in WSNs might difference depending on the application and network architecture. This paper focuses on reducing the power consumption for routing protocol of wireless sensor networks too. We present a routing protocol called ACRP. sensor nodes will organize many clusters voluntarily. Cluster heads will distribute time slot to the sensor nodes in the same cluster and sensor nodes will transmit data to cluster head in it¡¦s time slot. After the data had been aggregated by cluster heads, they will send the aggregated data to base station through the routing path that had been established. In addition, in order to lengthen the living time of wireless sensor network, the base station will periodically adjust the amount of sensor nodes in all clusters according to the cluster information.
