In wireless sensor network (WSN), LEACH protocol is a typical representative of the hierarchical topology control protocol. Compared to plane multiple hops routing protocol, it can significantly prolong the life cycle of the network. But LEACH protocol having the problem of uneven distribution at the cluster head election, this paper proposes a low energy adaptive clustering routing protocol based on the partition. On the basis of the partition, cluster heads are selected by the energy of nodes and their location information. Simulation experiments show that the proposed protocol can be more effective than LEACH to balance the energy and improve the life cycle of the network.
