This paper deals with a novel forwarding scheme for wireless sensor networks aimed at combining low computational complexity and high performance in terms of energy efficiency and reliability. This paper analyses the disadvantages of excessive clustering time because of the possible uneven cluster density. As a result, we present an ASMC algorithm. The proposed algorithm provides adaptability to mobile nodes and has no limitation to the network extensibility. An analytical model for estimating the energy efficiency of the scheme is presented, and several practical issues such as the effect of unreliable channels, topology changes, and MAC overhead are discussed.
