Algorithms for energy balanced cluster formation, cluster head selection, intra cluster and inter cluster communication in WSN are proposed. Furthermore, using OMNet-4.0 simulation performance of proposed protocol is compared with LEACH and EEMC using parameters like energy per packet and throughput. Simulation results demonstrate that EBC is effective in prolonging the network lifetime as well as in improving throughput, than LEACH and EEMC. © 2010 IEEE. %Z cited By 26; Conference of 2010 International Symposium on Information Technology, ITSim'10 ; Conference Date: 15 June 2010 Through 17 June 2010; Conference Code:81915
