Abstract
In this paper, a Single-Hop Active Clustering (SHAC) algorithm is proposed for wireless sensor networks. The core of SHAC has three parts. Firstly, when tentative clusterheads are selected, an average energy factor is introduced to balance the residual energy of the whole network nodes which improves the network energy efficiency. Secondly, a cost function is proposed to balance energy-efficient of each node. Finally, an active clustering algorithm is proposed for single-hop homogeneous networks. Through both theoretical analysis and numerical results, it is shown that SHAC prolongs the network lifetime significantly against the other clustering protocols such as LEACH-C and EECS. Under general instance, SHAC may prolong the lifetime by up to 50% against EECS.
