“…The energy consumption is balanced by intracluster communication in EECS and the network lifetime is significantly improved. In IDUC [18], a radius competition scheme is proposed to generate unequal clusters that can balance the energy consumption among CHs in the network with heterogeneous energy. On the other hand, some research works provide mathematical analysis on how to assign the range of clusters in various scenarios [13,19].…”

“…For the intercluster communication, many dynamic clustering protocols are developed based on the assumption that the CHs can communicate with the BS directly [8,11,17]. On the other hand, some research works have considered the multihops routing among CHs [12,13,18]. For example, HEED [12] uses the greedy routing algorithm for intercluster communication, and EC [13] uses a routing algorithm that considers the load balance among CHs.…”

Due to the limited energy of wireless sensor nodes, the energy efficiency of data collection is a key issue in wireless sensor network (WSN). Dynamic clustering is a scalable and energy efficient solution for data collection in WSN. However, it suffers from the imbalanced energy consumption in the intercluster communication. To solve this problem, in this paper, we propose a distributed and adaptive routing protocol for cluster-based wireless sensor networks (DARC). In DARC, an adaptive energy threshold is proposed for the cluster head to control its intercluster routing mode, and a tunable cost function is designed for relay selection. Simulation results prove that DARC effectively balances the energy consumption in the intercluster communication and hence improves the energy efficiency and prolongs the network lifetime.
