Abstract: In the specific application of bridge structure health monitoring (BSHM), clustering based only on the geographic location of nodes or using a single-hop strategy to complete inter-cluster routing may cause the unstability of the entire wireless sensor networks(WSN). For WSN in BSHM scenario, the concept of "energy distribution" is proposed, and an energy balance clustering routing protocol energy balance protocol(EBP) is designed. The second clustering, the high-energy areas in WSN bear more energy consumption, and a multi hop strategy based on region division is designed to control the number of forwarding hops. The simulation results show that, compared with low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy(LEACH) and stable election protocol(SEP), EBP has a significant positive improvement in the life cycle and energy consumption in BSHM scenario.
