Wireless sensor networks are an important part of the Internet of Things (IoT). For energyconstrained wireless sensor networks, research on topology control with energy saving is a difficult problem. The influence of topology on the overall performance of the network plays an important role, and the topology control algorithm plays a decisive role in the formation of the topology. Based on the research of hierarchical topology control algorithm, an improved algorithm based on energy-saving clustering algorithm (CAEC) is proposed. The algorithm changes the cluster area and performs communication stability by selecting cluster head nodes. The simulation experiments show that the clustering process of the CAEC algorithm is more reasonable than the LEACH algorithm, which prolongs the survival time of the network. The number of surviving nodes in the monitoring area, network energy consumption, and BS receiving data volume are different degrees of improvement during our study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
