Clustering and Routing Optimization Algorithm for Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is the cutting-edge technology of modern monitoring technology. There is a direct relationship between the length of its lifetime and its performance. Efficient and reasonable clustering and routing algorithm can reduce the energy loss in the network, which is of great significance for prolonging the network lifetime. The traditional WSN protocol has been difficult to meet the needs of the contemporary society. This paper focuses on the advantages and disadvantages of the traditional WSN protocol, and puts forward relevant improvement measures to optimize the traditional WSN protocol and extend the network life time.
