Purpose - Routing protocols in wireless sensor networks (WSN) are a crucial challenge for which the goal is maximizing the system lifetime. Since the sensor nodes are with limited capabilities, these routing protocols should be simple, scalable, energy-efficient, and robust to deal with a very large number of nodes, and also self-configurable to node failures and changes of the network topology dynamically. The purpose of this paper is to present a new algorithm for cluster forming in WSN based on the node energy required to transmit to the base station.
Design/methodology/approach - Rotation selection of cluster-head considering the remoteness of the nodes to the sink, and the network node residual energy.
Findings - The simulation results show that this algorithm allows network stability extension compared to the most known clustering algorithm.
Originality/value - Giving a probability to become cluster-head based on the remoteness of the node to the sink.
