摘要：The ultimate goal of researches on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is how to improve network energy efficiency as possible as can. Certainly, there are many researches concerned to energy efficient scheme in wireless sensor networks. Dividing geographically distributed sensor nodes into different clusters in order to decrease transmission range and transmission quantity is one of traditional energy efficient strategies for WSNs. In this paper, an energy efficient ACE clustering algorithm named EEACE in short is presented to improve the performance of ACE scheme. The EEACE algorithm is derived from ACE scheme but overcomes many shortcomings of ACE and other clustering algorithms such as famous LEACH and DCHS. By dividing sensor nodes into uniform clusters with minimum communication cost, EEACE algorithm improves the network’s performance at aspect of lifetime and energy efficiency significantly. The simulation results verified that EEACE algorithm prolongs the lifetime of WSNs by more than 15% comparing with ACE and DCHS algorithm.
