E2HRC: An Energy-Efficient Heterogeneous Ring Clustering Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

A heterogeneous ring domain communication topology with equal area in each ring is presented in this paper in an effort to solve the energy balance problem in original IPv6 routing protocol for low power and lossy networks (RPL). A new clustering algorithm and event-driven cluster head rotation mech...
