With growing innovation in ubiquitous computing, WSN and IoT’s have become the hot topic of research in the past few years. WSN’s generally grouped into two groups, first one is Homogeneous WSN, comprises of similar types of nodes and second one is Heterogeneous WSN includes several and different types of sensor nodes. In this paper, an improved version of an energy efficient three-level hierarchical heterogeneous based routing protocol is proposed where cluster heads are elected among super nodes, advanced nodes and less advanced ones using the method of weighted election probability. Within the network nodes are utilized in a co-centric circle. In this paper, sensor nodes get accommodate their positions in three-level hierarchical manner. The major purpose of this protocol aims to improve the network lifetime and stability period in order to minimize the communication cost. The simulated results of proposed protocol are evaluated with SEP protocol using MATLAB.
