Wireless sensor network (WSN) is an
emerging research field. There are large numbers of
sensors that collect and send data to base station. Saving
energy by using various routing techniques is a challenge.
Clustering is main technique used for this. Various
protocols like SEP (Stable Election Protocol) and ESEP
(Extended Stable Election Protocol) are clustering based
heterogeneous aware protocols. In this paper, a new
protocol ASEP (Advance Stable Election Protocol) has
been proposed based on SEP. This is based on changing
more efficiently and dynamically the cluster head election
probability. Performance of this protocol has been
evaluated in MATLAB and graphical results have been
shown. The performance of ASEP is better than SEP in
form of first node dies and total number of packets
delivered.
