Abstract

This paper proposes a distributed routing protocol for ad hoc sensor networks which uses fuzzy logic. Each sensor uses a fuzzy decision making process to find the best cluster head. Simulation shows that this protocol is able to dynamically adapt to sensorspsila mobility and failure. By a new load balancing method, it provides also stable clusters and so a cluster head have greater lifetime, which results minimum message exchange and so minimum energy consumption.
