Efficient sensor data fusion is one of the most important issues in building real sensor networks. To balance energy cost, how to select a cluster head is a key problem that must be addressed. In this paper, we use a compression-centric data collection algorithm for use in wireless sensor networks. Also, we propose a balanced cluster head selection algorithm in each cluster. Simulation results are used to investigate the performance of the algorithm. Compared to the exhaustive search solutions, the proposed algorithm shows a significant improvement in power consumption.
