Abstract

In this paper, a new clustering algorithm using the Guaranteed Minimum Coverage (GMC) is proposed. In the new protocol, an appropriate distribution of clusterheads is accomplished by guaranteeing a stochastic coverage at each clusterhead(CH)s. Using this protocol, the communication cost from clusterheads to their member nodes and the load variance in each clusterheads are reduced. Therefore, the network lifetime can be extended and the fair energy consumption for all CHs can be achieved
