Abstract With the increasing use of wireless terminals, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have received significant attention owing to their wide usage in monitoring harsh environments, crucial surveillance and security applications, and other real-life applications. Sensor nodes in operation are equipped with batteries that are not rechargeable in most of the cases. Attaining the lifetime maximization of these nodes has drawn the attention of researchers in recent years. The clustering mechanism is highly successful in conserving energy resources for network activities and has become a promising field for

researches to overcome the issues of battery-constrained WSNs. This research work implements zone-based clustering with the fuzzy-logic approach for dynamic cluster head (CH) selection. It aims to resolve the problem of unbalanced energy dissipation among the CHs in the network. The experimental results show that the proposed protocol outperforms the existing protocols in terms of maximizing the network lifetime.

Recent advancements within the field of micro-electrical technology, especially in the field of mechanical systems, controlled by small electrical components, have paved the path for the development of smart and efficient sensor equipment. WSNs have become an integral part of various applications in day-to-day life such as environmental monitoring, healthcare monitoring, war field surveillance, vehicular communication [1], home automation, and so forth. In the past, researchers have focused on different issues such as energy efficiency [2–4] and routing [5, 6] related to WSNs. The sensor nodes vary in many different sizes according to the application in which they are being used. Minuscule sensor nodes (SN) are constrained with memory, bandwidth, computation power, or energy and further fitted with nonreplenishable batteries. Also, they consume power in sensing, handling, and transmitting the data, hence the on-board power on the node m
