In this paper, we proposed a lifetime improvement fixed clustering energy awareness routing protocol for WSNs; named Load Balancing Cluster Head (LBCH) protocol. The LBCH protocol mainly targets reducing energy consumption in the network and balancing the workload over all nodes within the network. In order to evaluate the performance of LBCH protocol, thorough simulations have been conducted and the results are compared with other related protocols. The simulations showed that LBCH protocol overcomes other related protocols for continuous-based data models.
