Abstract:There is an advantage of fixed physical location for airfield lighting in airpor t lamp monitoring using WSNs, but some lamp locations are irregular, which cause a large consumption of the cluster head node in this logic region, i.e.,early death, thus forming the formation of voids during transmission, the undermining of the entire wireless sensor networks energy balance, and the reduced WSNs lifetime. To solve these problems a routing protocol is proposed with evenly distributed cluster head position, based on the routing protocols in a logical partition. The protocol iscomposed of two parts, a chaining transmission protocol and a clusterbased routing protocol. The chain transmission protocol is applied to the irregular region (corresponding to the long row lamp position), and the clusterbased routing protocol with logical partitions is applied to other regions. In the clusteringrouting protocol, the clustering head election algorithm is bound to join constraints. These two constraints are the location and the residual energy of the candidate cluster head. In order to verify the validity of the protocol, simulations are carried out with MATLAB referring the li ghting position distribution in an airfield approach zone. Simulation results sh ow that the protocol has good network energy balance ability. The sensor network has a long working lifetime, which is suitable for airport lamp monitoring.
