Abstract

Designing communication protocols for large-scale ad-hoc networks is difficult. Clustering is a key technique which extends the lifetime of a WSN by reducing energy consumption which can also increase network scalability. In this work, we propose an energy-efficient and load-balanced dynamic clustering protocol based on artificial bee colony (EBABC) which comprises of two parts. First determine the number of cluster heads based on the nodes distribution and communication radiuses. Secondly we select the CHs according to the residual energy, mobility, number of single-node cluster and distances to cluster heads from their member nodes and to the server from cluster heads. Simulation results demonstrate that the protocol can efficiently prolong the network lifetime and achieve load balance among the nodes.
