Abstract :
Hierarchical clustering is a new clustering scheme in WSN. This paper presents a novel clustering scheme integrating Hierarchical clustering On the basis of classical routing algorithm. Simulation results show that the new scheme efficiently mitigates the hot spot problem in WSN and achieves much improvement in network lifetime and load balance compared to the old algorithm.
