Abstract: The purpose of clustering protocol is to achieve efficient data collection by making use of the limited resource in wireless sensor networks, which prolongs the lifetime of networks. In this paper, the parallel distributed self-organization clustering protocol (PDSOCP) based on clustering architecture is proposed. It partitions the target area into many small logic zones distributed uniformly according to the geography locations of the nodes. Every zone selects a cluster head according to the residual energy and the distance between the node and other nodes in the zone. Cluster head and agent manage the cluster together. Furthermore, a kind of adaptive routing algorithm has been established. Simulations show that the algorithm yields an improvement in saving energy and prolonging system lifetime, as well as achieving better performance.
