Abstract

Energy saving and prolonging network life cycle are the most important targets for routing protocols in the WSN. Clustering is an effective way for widespread network life by reducing energy consumption. Nowadays, most studies aim at a homogeneous environment in which all sensor nodes have the same amount of initial energy. However, in a heterogeneous network environment, a number of sensor nodes are equipped with additional power sources, thus resulting in a power hierarchy. This heterogeneity in the sensor nodes leads to network life, stability. In this paper, we have proposed to improve BEENISH and DEEC protocols. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed protocol has better performance in terms of network life, stability and packet delivery compared to Enhanced Distributed Energy Efficient Clustering (EDEEC), Enhanced Developed Distributed Energy Efficient Clustering (EDDEEC), Balanced Energy Efficient Network Integrated Super Heterogeneous (BEENISH)
