Abstract

This paper proposes a fixed clustering algorithm (FCA) to improve energy efficiency for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In order to reduce the consuming energy of sending data at each sensor, the proposed algorithm uniformly divides the sensing area into clusters where the cluster head is deployed in the center of the cluster area. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm definitely reduces the energy consumption of the sensors and extends the lifetime of the networks nearly more 80% compared to the random clustering (RC).
