A Multi-hop Routing Protocol with Pre-cluster Head Announcement

Abstract

In wireless sensor network, routing issue has received much attention. A number of routing protocols are available in wireless sensor network. This paper presents a new multi-hop routing protocol with pre-cluster head announcement. In this protocol, selection of next round cluster-head is based on remaining energy and distance from current round clusterhead. Simulation results show that proposed approach, provides a better solution in term of prolonging network lifetime and increasing energy efficiency.
