This makes to encourage design protocols that are energy efficientto provide a longer network life time. This paper proposes a method to dividethe sensor network into equal-size grids (the grids are considered as clusters),selecting Cluster Head (CH) and Vice Cluster Head (VCH) for each grid by usingFuzzy Logic System (FLS). Since the CH being the central node and performingadditional tasks in a grid often results in early energy drain, the VCHs are introducedhere as an additional internal resource to replace CHs in the network. Unlike othertypical hierarchical routing protocols, the CHs are not changed per round, ratherthey are replaced on-demand in order to reduce energy consumption. We analyzeand compare our proposal in the MATLAB with the well-known cluster-basedprotocol, LEACH and its modified version MODLEACH. The results show asignificant improvement in delivery ratio, energy consumption and networklifetime.</p></abstract>
