description Abstract This paper examines the impact of hetterogeneous wireless sensor networks (WSNs) on wireless communication systems, with a focus in Internet of Things (IoT) enabled smart grids. It introduces a novel approach for the fair distribution of energy and computational resources among sensor nodes (SNs), which is crucial for extending network lifespan, enhancing performance, and ensuring SG stability. The research highlights the role of initial energy and processing capacities of SNs. Although hierarchical clustering methods are effective in WSNs, finding the ideal routing protocol remains challenging due to extensive deployment. To address energy efficiency and network durability, the study proposes the integration of the heterogeneous dynamic multi-hop (HDM) approach with the low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) protocol, specifically for IoT smart city applications. The HDM model combines multi-hop communication with dynamic hierarchical clustering, distinguishing between normal and advanced nodes based on energy levels to optimize cluster head selection probabilities. The methodology involves a comparative analysis between the HDM protocol and LEACH in a heterogeneous environment (H-LEACH) in terms of energy conservation, and network lifespan. Results demonstrate that the HDM protocol outperforms H-LEACH. Notably, HDM consumes half of the total energy over 4600 rounds, compared to H-LEACH’s 3000 rounds. These findings have important implications for deploying WSNs in smart grid applications, supporting sustainable and resilient urban IoT ecosystems.
