Abstract
One of the major constraints of wireless sensor networks is limited energy available to sensor nodes because
of the small size of the batteries they use as source of power. Clustering is one of the routing techniques that
have been using to minimize sensor nodes’ energy consumption during operation. In this paper, A Novel
Clustering Algorithm for Energy Efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks (ANCAEE) has been proposed.
The algorithm achieves good performance in terms of minimizing energy consumption during data transmission and energy consumptions are distributed uniformly among all nodes. ANCAEE uses a new method of
clusters formation and election of cluster heads. The algorithm ensures that a node transmits its data to the
cluster head with a single hop transmission and cluster heads forward their data to the base station with
multi-hop transmissions. Simulation results show that our approach consumes less energy and effectively
extends network utilization.
