Summary:To overcome the inefficiency of the cluster structure construction in the existing wireless sensor networks, we propose an equilibrium multi-hop cluster hierarchy (EMCH). Both the remaining energy of cluster head nodes and the cluster distribution are considered during the cluster construction. According to the signal intensity of communication between sensor nodes, the cluster structure is formed in a reasonable distribution. The experiment shows EMCH can balance the energy consumption and prolong the lifetime of WSNs. Copyright ? 2009 ACM.
