Abstract
Clustering is a vital technology used in wireless sensor networks to enhance energy efficiency. A cluster is formed by a group of nodes and the members of the cluster transmit the data they have detected to the cluster leader. Conversely the cluster head has the responsibility of consolidating the data and transmitting it to the base station. Consequently the reduction in data traffic between individual nodes and the base station leads to an extended lifespan of the network. This paper introduces a novel energy saving approach for heterogeneous wireless sensor networks. The approach relies on a clustering technique. The method encompasses three separate types of heterogeneity: normal advanced and super nodes each characterised by a unique energy level. Varying quantities of the three aforementioned categories of nodes were used in the conducted studies. The experimental results clearly demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly prolongs the networks lifespan facilitates a higher volume of message transmission to the base station and achieves a considerably longer stability period compared to previous methods.
