DCE: A Distributed Energy-Eﬃcient Clustering Protocol for Wireless Sensor Network Based on Double-Phase Cluster-Head Election.Clustering is an effective technique used to reduce energy consumption and extend the lifetime of wireless sensor network (WSN).  We propose and evaluate a novel distributed energy-eﬃcient clustering protocol called DCE for heterogeneous wireless sensor networks, based on a Double-phase Cluster-head Election scheme.  In DCE, the procedure of cluster head election is divided into two phases.  Energy consumption is well-distributed in the proposed protocol, and the simulation results show that DCE achieves longer stability periods than other typical clustering protocols in heterogeneous scenarios.
