Shortest Distance On-demand Stable Election Protocol

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) play a significant role in today’s world and are used at every point of daily life. It is one of the widely used networking techniques for Internet of Things (IoT). The continued growth of IoT suffers from power efficiency and stability restrictions. One of the best options is an effective method of routing. An effective, cluster-based, threshold-sensitive routing methodology for IoT-based heterogeneous wireless sensor networks forms the basis of presented Shortest Distance On-demand Stable Election Protocol (SDOSEP). Data transfer among nodes with multiple paths, in principle, is very expensive and impacts network performance. Thus, this approach selects the cluster head based on total energy in the network along with a shortest weighted path to perform data transmission. The approach presented here provides better performance in terms of network lifetime, stability, instability, and throughput over the proposed baseline procedures.
