Abstract-In order to reduce the energy consumption and enhance the robustness of wireless sensor network (WSN), this paper proposes a hierarchical clustering routing algorithm based on fuzzy mathematics (HCRAFM). To make a comprehensive analysis of WSN, it is also necessary to detect the robustness of the network. Facing the multiple random variables, the traditional robustness detection models assume that all nodes have the same weight, making it impossible to quantify the analysis indices or obtain accurate results. Thus, the fuzzy mathematics theory was introduced to the WSN robustness detection, forming a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. The simulation results show that the HCRAFM strikes a load balance between WSN nodes, extends the life cycle of each node, and prolongs the service life of the network. In addition, the proposed algorithm is proved to have sound robustness and strong applicability.

IntroductionIn wireless sensor network (WSN), the routing algorithm is responsible for setting up the path and mechanism of data transmission, realizing the dynamical update of network topology, and maintaining the information of network routing [1]. Therefore, the algorithm must be able to improve the energy efficiency of WSN nodes, and provide high quality services [2]. The traditional routing algorithms cannot satisfy the demand of WSN, which carries numerous different features from those of traditional networks. This calls for the design of a routing algorithm targeted at the demand of WSN [3]. The structure of a typical WSN is presented in Figure 1.
