摘要：Abstract - This paper presents the impact of utilizing a biased energy distribution (BED) scheme
for clustering sensor networks. In clustering sensor networks, some of the nodes are elected as
aggregators and they compress the data from their cluster members before sending the aggregated
data to the sink. Existing clustering routing protocols assume that all the nodes are provided with
equal amount of energy but this shortens the network lifetime and makes the network unstable.
This paper proposes a solution prioritizing the network into higher and lower energy nodes. The
aim of this approach is to ensure well balanced energy consumption in order to maximize network
lifetime. It is shown by simulation that the proposed technique exhibits better performance when
compared to existing clustering routing techniques in terms of throughput, network lifetime and
energy consumption.
