A wireless sensor network with a large number of tiny sensor nodes can be used as an effective tool for gathering data in various situations. One of the major issues in wireless sensor network is developing an energy-efficient routing protocol which has a significant impact on the overall lifetime and stability of the sensor network. Clustering sensor nodes is an effective technique in wireless sensor networks which can increase network energy efficiency, scalability and lifetime. In this paper, we have considered three types of sensor nodes. Some fraction of the sensor nodes are equipped with the additional energy resources than the other nodes. We have assumed that all the sensor nodes are uniformly distributed. Adapting this approach, we have developed an energy efficient cluster head election (EECHE) protocol for heterogeneous wireless sensor networks to extend the network lifetime and stability, which is crucial for many applications. Simulations results demonstrated that EECHE is able to prolong the time interval of the death of first node in the sensor filed that enhances the system lifetime and stability over the existing protocols.
