Innovative methods are required to remove energy inefficiency that reduces the network lifetime because battery power is limited on the sensor nodes used in WSN applications. Because the path is not established at that time, there is a difficulty with dead node identification during data transfer. Another issue is the redundancy-related network lifetime concern. Energy is lost during transmission, which causes an issue with energy usage. We have encountered an NP-hard scheduling problem in our review of the literature. It’s also a problem that, as bandwidth increases, the lifespan of the network itself decreases. A hybrid routing approach for WSNs based on the combination of DEEC and CH-Leach In clustering-based wireless sensor networks, protocols like ACO and LEACH are used. The CH-Leach Protocol is proposed as an algorithm. In this research, each CH communicates with the BS via the total number of CH connections. The amount of clusters on the network gird region, however, determines which cluster head is chosen. This technique enables the network to adopt the ideal condition to increase network longevity. Numerous studies on diverse situations were conducted and tested. By using the ZECR, which reduces the amount of energy used, wireless sensor networks can work better. The performance in this painting is higher than in the current painting since the current painting primarily depends on physical appearance, whereas our painting is completed using logical painting, and the overall output is 70%.
