Abstract：The improved weighted clustering algorithm based on the LEACH algorithm is proposed to address the issues of short lifespan of the unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)swarm self-organized network and short lifespan of cluster head nodes.The UAV nodes are clustered based on their relative distances and node density.Considering the load balancing in the network,cluster heads are selected in a round-robin manner.The weighted approach takes into account two influencing factors,which are the re-maining energy of the nodes and the connectivity degree of the nodes,to select the optimal cluster head based on the LEACH algo-rithm.Simulation results show that this clustering algorithm improves the number of received data packets,the lifespan of nodes,the network lifespan of the self-organized network,and reduces the number of dead nodes.
