ABSTRACT

Due to environmental characteristics, limited power and processing capabilities of wireless sensor networks, it is essential find new techniques that improve the flow information in network. The cluster head election among nodes an effective technique networks increase network efficiency, scalability lifetime. In this paper, we have proposed evaluated a distributed scheme for heterogeneous networks. heads based on different weighted probability. cluster’s member communicate with elected then aggregated base station via single hop communication. Adopting approach, our simulation results demonstrate offer much better performance than existing protocols terms stability
