Abstract:Abstract-We propose an improved energy consumption model for a heterogeneous network by adapting an existing distance based clustering concept to it. We assume that if the distance based clustering concept has improved a homogeneous network, the same concept if applied to a heterogeneous network will improve the latter. A heterogeneous network, which is an improved version of a homogeneous network, is considered. We apply our model on the Stable Election Protocol, which is a common routing algorithm designed f… Show more
