Abstract: The power of sensor nodes comes from batteries，so as to improve the energy efficiency of sensor nodes and then prolong the networks lifetime，this paper proposes a novel clustering method EBC（Energy-Base Clustering） for Wireless Sensor Networks.The contribution is not only making the nodes sampling and dealing with those sensitive data，but also finding a tradeoff in terms of energy load among the sensor networks.Some experiments on Mambo nodes have been done.

摘要： 传感器网络节点大部分采用电池供电，致使节点能量非常有限。为了节省能量进而延长网络寿命，文中提出了一种新的簇头选择算法EBC，EBC算法除了能够在局部网络内完成数据采集和数据处理外，还能够形成由簇头和网关节点组成的骨干网并完成整个网络通信。通过在Mambo节点上的实验证明，该算法能够有效地均衡整个网络的能量，并很好地应用于实际的传感器网络中。
