Abstract: In order to enhance the flexibility of generated cluster, this paper proposes a new clustering algorithm based on communication facility in Wireless Sensor Network(WSN). Different from traditional clustering algorithm which generates cluster construct by cluster head, this algorithm combines with communication facility of node to form complete cluster structure, inter-cluster communication and intra-cluster communication are all in multi-hop way. Simulation result shows that this algorithm is of less energy consumption, it is suitable for small node density and large-scale networks.

摘要： 为提高生成簇的灵活性，在无线传感器网络中，提出基于便利因子的簇生成算法。与产生簇头来形成簇结构的传统簇生成算法不同，该算法结合节点的便利因子进行组簇形成完整的簇结构，其簇内和簇间采用多跳通信。仿真结果表明，该算法消耗能量较少，适用于节点密度较小、规模较大的网络。
