Un protocole de routage à basse consommation d'énergie selon l'approche de clustering pour les réseaux de capteurs sans fils

Abstract

In this paper we propose a new routing protocol with low energy consumption for wireless sensor networks based on the clustering approach. Our protocol is based on a strategy which aims at providing a more equitable exploitation of the selected nodes (cluster-heads) energy by distributing their load of the managed sensors during the clustering process. In order to save the energy dissipated while transmitting sensed data to the base station, the multi-hops routing strategy is used to arrange the communication of the data between cluster-heads nodes. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed protocol decreases the energy consumption and prolongs the network lifetime.
