WCSN is one of the most significant research areas in the terrestrial networking field due to its wide range of applications. One of the most difficult challenges is expanding the overall running time without attaching any new batteries or hardware. Using a novel EDT (Energy, Distance, Time) driven strategy, this paper proposes a clustering algorithm to solve the problems of the hotspot as well as reduce battery energy loss. The CH rotation method was then described in detail. This paper will introduce a new function called SCH (Substitute cluster head), which has replaced CH. The main aim of this research is to improve energy reliability and network lifetime. Finally, the presented EDT approach can be comparable to current algorithms, where MFSTERP’s network lifetime is 15.4%, EECHS’s is 23.2%, and ABC-DE’s is 11.4%, but our proposed EDT methodology extends network lifetime by 40% as well as decreases energy usage by 7% as compared to LEACH when determining the SCH.
