Abstract :
In the existing clustering protocol, cluster heads (CHs) usually transmit data to Sink directly with long-distance transmission and huge energy consumption. To solve this problem, an inter-cluster gateway-based energy-efficient routing protocol (IGER) is proposed in this paper. It makes cluster heads evenly distributed, chooses appropriate nodes to be gateways for inter-cluster communication to share CHs´ energy consumption. Simulations show that IGER consumes very little energy, effectively balances energy consumption of all nodes, and prolongs the network lifetime, outperforms LEACH, PEGASIS and iHEED.
