Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are considered as a special type of ad hoc networks, that represent an emerging technology that is having an increasing success in the scientific, logistical, and military areas. It not only realizes benefits for the customer in a technologically sophisticated way, but in addition provides this with high flexibility. However, the size of the sensors is an important limitation, mainly in terms of energy autonomy and lifetime because the battery must be very small. For this reason, many studies are currently focusing on managing the energy consumed by the sensors in the network. With this in mind, we have proposed an algorithm that improves the quality of service based on a clustering approach. In order to confirm the improvements provided by our algorithm, a simulation is done using MATLAB, in which the performance of our algorithm is evaluated and compared with available clustering protocols (LEACH and SEP).
