Abstract
The advent of technology has facilitated the development of small, low power devices that combine programmable general purpose computing with multiple sensing and wireless communication capability. This article discusses the characteristics of sensor network and compares its communication mode with MANET, and then it introduces the clustering sensor network architecture. The nodes in this architecture can be classified as the following four types: cluster head nodes, active nodes inside cluster, the dormancy nodes and free nodes. An energy cost model in the sensor network is given in the article. The energy cost simulation is done and the influence of clustering on the energy cost is analyzed.
