Network lifetime (NL) and energy preserving of sensor node is the most vital problem in the deployment of wireless sensor networks (WSNs
). An approach of cluster based path establishment shows the way in which cluster heads (CHs
) collect the information with each other and transfers into the sink (nS
) via multi-hop routing. In this paper, we present path establishment and CHs
selection through Energy-Distance and Degree (EDD) based clustering (EDDCH) and route discovery (EDDRD). The networks divided into multiple groups and each CHs
support to each other for data forwarding also the smaller sized clusters closest to the nS
and huge size clusters remote from the S increases the lifetime of the network. The simulation results compared with the existing route optimization named as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) in terms of residual energy (RE
) and network lifetime (NL
).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
