This paper presents a novel network lifetime extension technique. In order to collect information more efficiently, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are partitioned into clusters. Clustering provides an effective way to prolong the lifetime of WSNs. Current clustering approaches often use two methods: selecting cluster heads with more residual energy, and rotating cluster head periodically, to distribute the energy consumption among nodes in each cluster and extend the network lifetime. However, most of the previous algorithms have not considered the expected residual energy, only consider the estimation performance. In this paper we propose a probabilistic based transmission using clustering algorithm. Probabilistic transmission control at which is to minimize the mean squared error of estimation by increasing the packet transmission success probability of only sensors having high observation SNR. These newly available sensors are partitioned into several sensor sets select the cluster head to maintain the same estimation performance. The simulation results show that the proposed approach is more efficient than other distributed algorithms. It is believed that the technique presented in this paper could be further applied to large-scale wireless sensor networks.
