The Internet of Things(IoT) is an integration of the existing and evolving Internet with future network developments such as self-configuring capabilities and enhanced network lifetime with proper power management to create an intelligent network that can be sensed, controlled and programmed. Due to multi-hop communication, cluster-based routing protocols become an essential step in designing any IoT network. Distributed Energy Efficient Clustering (DEEC) is one of the cluster- based hierarchical routing protocols which are used for the heterogeneous networks in WSN. The proposed technique DEEC-VD not only uses cluster and active cluster head forming with the help of vector quantization but also it uses Dijkstra Algorithm to find the shortest path between the active cluster heads (CHs) to provide high energy utilization. DEEC-V provides the intra -cluster communication between the cluster head and using Dijkstra's Algorithm, the minimum distance is calculated connecting the active cluster heads which create the shortest path results in energy efficient technique. From simulation result, it has been found that after implementing the proposed technique, the average energy utilization of the network has increased to almost 60%.
