The energy hole problem is a significant challenge in wireless sensor network (WSN) that uses multi-hop routing protocols. Nodes near the base station (BS) typically experience higher energy consumption due to higher data traffic resulting in faster network energy depletion and creating an energy hole near the BS. To address this issue, the paper proposes a solution involving a mobile data collector (MDC) in an unequal grid cluster. The number and size of the clusters are determined based on the radio energy model’s threshold transmission value to provide balanced data traffic distribution in the network. The cluster head (CH) is elected based on the node’s distance from the cluster nodes centroid and the residual energy of the node. Furthermore, an MDC is deployed to collect data from the CHs of vertical boundaries effectively reducing the occurrence of energy holes and extending the network’s lifetime. Simulation results demonstrate the superior performance of our protocol compared to similar existing schemes.
