Each node of a wireless sensor network (WSN) is connected to several other sensors. These sensor nodes can be deployed in dense for monitoring variety and wide range of applications. There are different types of protocols in WSN used to route the packets from source to destination. They are data-centric, hierarchical, and location-based and network flow and quality of service. To manage the energy consumption of WSN, one of the best hierarchical protocols is low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) protocol. However there is no guaranteed cluster head election in LEACH. In this paper, a deterministic model is developed to manage and organize clustering heads, which is deterministic energy-efficient clustering protocol (DEC). A deterministic energy-efficient clustering protocol promises a better election of cluster heads and is dynamic, distributive in nature, self-organizing and more energy-efficient than the existing conventional LEACH protocols. It utilizes a simplified approach, which minimizes computational overhead-cost to self-organize the sensor network. Then the performance parameters of LEACH and DEC protocols are determined and analyzed by using MATLAB. The simulation results shows that DEC protocol has better performance than the existing LEACH protocol. Keywords: Energy efficiency, DEC, LEACH, wireless sensor networksCite this Article Ch. Raja, K.
