significance to select the optimal cluster heads number for wireless sensor networks. Based on the information rate-distortion function and network energy model, we propose an algorithm OCHN which calculates the optimal cluster head number for the minimal energy consumption, and further gets the optimal cluster head ratio in the process of data aggregation. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed algorithm is energy efficient, and the comprehensive performances of network lifetime and data
