Since sensor nodes (SNs) have significant power constraints (battery life), energy-efficient protocols must be employed to prolong the network lifetime. In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient protocol which provides a new way of creating distributed clusters. This protocol is a modified version of Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) protocol. The experimental results show that our protocol that takes into account both the residual energy at each SN and the distance between the SNs outperforms LEACH protocol in terms of first node death time and average residual energy.
