As the advance of IoT technology, wireless sensor networks are deployed for a variety of applications. Moreover, with the reduction of the cost of wireless sensors, the development of a wireless sensor network israpid and cost-effective. The characteristics of a sensor include independent computing, low cost, and limited resources. Therefore, how to reduce the energy consumed by sensor nodes in operation to improve the energy efficiency of wireless sensor networks has become one of the important research topics. This study investigateshow the information quality affects by the energy consumption for different data transmission methods and different sizes of communication regions.A Super Cluster Head (SCH) scheme was proposed for improving thetraditional cluster-based (CBS) scheme. Simulation study was conducted to validate the proposed approach. The delivery time and lifetime are improved with the cost of more control packets as well as much energy consumed per node.
