A cluster routing algorithm based on RSSI for an efficient multi-hop data forwarding

In this paper, we are propose a cluster routing algorithm based on RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) for an efficient multi-hop data forwarding. The proposed a cluster routing algorithm determine a header by generate the cluster a random to between nodes of similar positions using the RSSI of each node to the sink node in the cluster-based wireless sensor network. And it are to the data transmission to the sink node to the multi-hop. In this paper, efficiency test results of proposed cluster routing algorithm was reduced energy consumption when increased the size and traffic in the sensors network by compared with LEACH (Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) protocol.
