The invention relates to an energy balancing wireless sensor network clustering method, which comprises the following three steps of: selecting cluster heads, building a cluster and transmitting data, wherein in the process of selecting the cluster heads, the priorities of nodes to be selected as the cluster heads are set by parameters such as the energy of the nodes, the number of neighboring nodes and the like, so that the cluster heads are more uniformly distributed; in the process of building the cluster, an energy threshold is set as the rebuilding condition of the cluster, so that the aim of reducing the rebuilding frequency of the cluster is fulfilled; meanwhile, a single-hop and multi-hop combined data transmission model is adopted, so that hot problems in a network are solved. Bythe method, the energy can be effectively utilized, the stability of the network is improved, the energy consumption of the network can be balanced, the service life of the network is effectively prolonged, and the network has higher extensibility and safety.
