In this paper, we propose a novel clustering protocol, LECP-CP (local energy consumption prediction-based clustering protocol), the core of which includes a novel cluster head election algorithm and an inter-cluster communication routing tree construction algorithm, both based on the predicted local energy consumption ratio of nodes. We also provide a more accurate and realistic cluster radius to minimize the energy consumption of the entire network. The global energy consumption can be optimized by the optimization of the local energy consumption, and the energy consumption among nodes can be balanced well. Simulation results validate our theoretical analysis and show that LECP-CP has high efficiency of energy utilization, good scalability and significant improvement in the network lifetime.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s141223017","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,3]],"date-time":"2014-12-03T10:27:09Z","timestamp":1417602429000},"page":"23017-23040","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":40,"title":["A Local Energy Consumption Prediction-Based Clustering Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Jiguo","family":"Yu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Science and Engineering, Qufu Normal University, Rizhao 276826, Shandong, China"}]},{"given":"Li","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Information Technology, Macau University of Science and Technology, Macau, China"}]},{"given":"Lili","family":"Jia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Science and Engineering, Qufu Normal University, Rizhao 276826, Shandong, China"}]},{"given":"Xin","family":"Gu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Science and Engineering, Qufu Normal University, Rizhao 276826, Shandong, China"}]},{"given":"Dongxiao","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, The University of Hong Kong, Pokfulam, Hong Kong, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3099","DOI":"10.1109\/TPDS.2013.2297121","article-title":"Approximate physical world reconstruction algorithms in sensor networks","volume":"25","author":"Li","year":"2014","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
