In order to solve the uneven node load in the tradition clustering routing protocols, a new clustering algorism based on SOM is proposed. Firstly, the network radio model and the energy consumption model are defined. A new algorism using SOM to form the cluster and select the cluster head is defined. In the clustering node remain energy and the Euclidean distance from cluster head to the cluster member are considered. The experiment shows our method has the longer life cycle and less total energy consumption. It is an effective clustering protocol.
