Research of cluster routing algorithm in cellular grid by tracking radionuclide contamination of uranium trailings impoundment

In order to solve energy-consumption of wireless transmission route, a clustering routing protocol based on improved cellular model is proposed for environmental monitoring through wireless sensor network (WSN) of nuclide leakage in uranium tailings impoundment. The protocol sets the virtual partition of the cellular structure in the monitoring area to reduce complexity of the cluster and to balance the network energy consumption in clustering way. Considering angle ratio and distance ratio between the centroid of the virtual partition and the node when choosing the cluster head, node communication in cluster adopts the method of mixing hop to realize energy balance. Simulation results show that this protocol is not only prolonging the network lifetime effectively, but reducing its energy consumption.
