The past few years have witnessed increasing focus on the potential applications of wireless sensor networks. Sensors in these networks are expected to be remotely dispersed in large number and to operate autonomously and unattended. Clustering is a widely used technique that can enhance scalability and decrease energy consumption over sensor networks. We present an energy-efficient distributed multi-hop clustering approach for sensor networks, which combined multi-hop transmission with clustering method, aiming to balance the energy dissipation and prolong the whole network lifetime. Simulations showed that the protocol proposed worked nearly 100% more efficient compared with LEACH and HEED.
