Summary:
This paper presents an autonomic network reconfiguration for energy efficient clustering of wireless sensor networks. Due to the main constraint of sensor nodes is their very low finite battery enery, which limits the lifetime and the quality of the network. For this reason, the protocols running on sensor networks must consume the resources of the nodes efficiently in order to achieve a longer network lifetime. Our approach is to reorganize the cluster head node by setting the mininum cluster head node remaining energy. If problem happens, cluster head will change to be a new node. This network reconfiguration will help to increase prolonging the node average working time and improving the network load balance.
