Clustering in sensor networks: A literature survey (2014, methodology): “As an example, SEP (Smaragdakis et al., 2004) uses LEACH in heterogeneous WSNs. SEP studies the impact of heterogeneity , in terms of energy of the nodes.”
An Energy-Efficient Clustering Solution for Wireless Sensor Networks (2011, background): “EC is independent of the particular sensor energy model, yet considers a popular one mentioned in previous works [3], [13], [14], [22], given by:”
An Energy-Efficient Communication Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks (2011, background): “SEP [9] mainly aims at twolevel heterogeneous network, that is, its initial energy has two kinds of level in this network.”
Design of a distributed energy-efficient clustering algorithm for heterogeneous wireless sensor networks (2006, background): “Keywords: Wireless sensor networks; Clustering algorithm; Heterogeneous environment; Energy-efficient”
A Survey on Successors of LEACH Protocol (2017, background): “The authors have discussed and compared only four protocols(LEACH [9], CLEACH [25], MOD-LEACH [26] and SEP [27]) based on the round number when the first node dies, the percentage of dead nodes and parameters when the last node dies.”
