ABSTRACT

Wireless sensor networks(WSN) consists of widespread random deployment of energy constrained sensor nodes, many routing protocols have been proposed based on heterogeneity with main research goals such as achieving the energy efficiency, lifetime, and deployment of nodes. In this paper, we have proposed an energy efficient cluster head scheme, for heterogeneous wireless sensor networks, by modifying the threshold value of a node based on which it decides to be a cluster head or not, called TDEEC (Threshold Distributed Energy Efficient Clustering) protocol. Simulation results show that proposed algorithm TDEEC performs better than DEEC, DDEEC and EDEEC.
