Abstract :Wireless sensor networks have grown from homogeneous network architecture to heterogeneous networks for the improvement of network efficiency and lifetime. This paper exhibits a mobile cluster-head data collection insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MCHDC); model for heterogeneous wireless networks. The MCHDC model illustrates the mobility pattern of mobile cluster-head nodes in a controlled environment with uniform and nonuniform deployment of mobile elements in the area of observation. It focuses on the threshold velocity for movement of mobile elements in the network area. In this paper the effects of data sending rate, network area, sensor node density, and cluster-head node density on energy efficiency of the network with the MCHDC model have been studied through simulations.
