Abstract: Research and design on clustering routing has been the focus of the wireless sensor network routing protocols. Based on the even clustering routing GRID,we propose a new routing protocal named Q-GRID. In Q-GRID,the network coverage area is quad-tree divided and coded. The improvement of GRID is based on residual energy and transmission distance between cluster head,improving the strategy of selecting cluster head and proposing a better one. Based on residual energy and transmission distance when a next hop node is selected,the energy dissipation of whole network is more even. Both of the algorithms were emulated in OMNeT ++. The result of the emulation proves that compared with GRID,Q-GIRD lifetime is longer and the energy dissipation is less.
