N2 - One of the most important issues in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is the efficient use of limited energy resources. A popular approach for efficient energy consumption is clustering. In this paper, we propose an energy efficient clustering algorithm, called Bird Flocking Behavior Clustering (BFBC). By adopting the bird flocking behavior, our clustering algorithm forms clusters with simple local interactions. With an improvement on the existing bio-inspired clustering algorithm, that forms a cluster using several messages, BFBC forms a cluster with only one message. Simulation results show that BFBC significantly decreases the number of messages for cluster head election, and also reduces the energy consumption for communication between cluster members and their dedicated cluster head.
