Abstract
Heterogeneous wireless sensor networks are energy limited and imbalance networks, load balancing and energy efficiency is the most challenging task in these networks. In this paper, we propose a distributed election clustering protocol to prolong the stable region of wireless sensor networks, which is based on remaining energy and communication cost to elect suitable cluster-head nodes. Compared with classical clustering protocol, our protocol can maintain load balancing of networks, and extremely prolong the stable region of network lifetime.
