Abstract
A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of spatially distributed autonomous devices which use sensor nodes (SNs) to monitor physical or environmental conditions cooperatively. However, the SN is limited by the energy resource, the memory, the computation, the communication capability, etc. Therefore, the hierarchical clustering topology has been proposed to prolong the lifetime of WSNs by decreasing the energy consumption of SNs. Unfortunately, the network topology is still unstable due to the workload of the cluster managers is overloading. However, in this study, a Centre Clustering Mechanism (CCM) underlying the center-based WSN is proposed to improve the stability of network topology, assists SN within the working area, and takes advantage of message exchange.
