Abstract

Providing route stability isconsidered to be crucial task in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Hierarchical topologyis considered to preserve the energy of the sensor networks in which the nodes with the higher residual energy is used to gather the data. However, most of the existingmethods on clustering have adopted a two-layer hierarchy. This paper proposes an Enhanced Three Layer Energy Efficient Clustering (ETLEEC) algorithm for WSNs. The proposed method uses an extra layer called the lattice head where the cluster head collects the information form sensor nodes and sends it to the lattice head which in turn send to the base station. Simulations are performed in network simulator and the results show that the proposed system is more efficient in terms of energy and quality of service compared to all other existing distributed algorithms.
