SEESH: Sleep-awake energy efficient super heterogeneous routing protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless Sensor Networks are extensively using the idea of heterogeneity to increase the throughput, network lifetime, and stability. Many routing algorithms on the idea of heterogeneity are proposed that mainly focuses on energy efficiency, stability, network lifetime, and clustering processes and many more are likely to come. We put forward Sleep-Awake Energy Efficient Super Heterogeneous (SEESH) protocol. This protocol assumes four levels of heterogeneity in conjunction with the pairing of nodes. These nodes are deployed in four different energy regions to exploit heterogeneity at maximum. In each pair of node, one node sleeps and saves the energy resources while the other node awakes and transfers the data to cluster head. The cluster heads in each region are chosen based on average energy of each four energy regions and remaining energy of nodes. The results are verified and proved using MATLAB.
