and the average improvement
with respect to the second best performance based
on the first-node-die and the last-node-die is 33.8% and 13%,
respectively. The balanced energy consumption greatly improves
the network life and allows the sensor energy to deplete evenly.
The computational efficiency of our method is comparable to
the others and the overall average time across all experiments is
0.6 seconds with a standard deviation of 0.06.
