An energy‐efficiency‐adaptive clustering formation mechanism for the wireless sensor networks

Energy inequality caused by the process of cluster head election has a large influence on energy efficiency and network lifetime wireless sensor networks (WSNs). To this end, novel concept EIec is proposed to evaluate equality degree consumption. Related theorems for establishing candidate set heads are proposed, with aim promoting in each cluster. Subsequently, energy-efficiency-adaptive formation mechanism based economic (ECFE) theory detailed. Finally, extensive experiments carried out assess its performance comparisons existing classic latest intelligent clustering algorithms. The results indicate that ECFE improves not only but also effectively.
