The primary requirements of a heterogeneous wireless network topology, adaptive and smart resource allocation to users, protocols for routing and lifetime enhancement, access to the network with security and appropriate network selections. Routing algorithms deliberate on the performance of the network to evenly distribute load and thus enhance the lifespan of individual nodes, clustering algorithm decides on allowing the right nodes into the network for enhanced security feature, and finally the ability to analyse, predict the context of individual nodes/sensors in the network. Architecture of the proposed network includes the parameters such as decision making ability to sustain the clusters, decision on members of the clusters until the communication process is completed, local network abilities and disabilities, price, preferences of individuals, terminal and access points of the service providers. Network lifetime of the entire network is observed to be enhanced up to 91% with triple layer architecture.
