Summary Wireless sensor network consumes large number of energy‐constrained nodes that are used to monitor the external devices while transferring the information in the sensor networks. At the time of the information transmission process, node contains high energy, and battery of node may be recharged continuously, which leads to reduction of the entire information transmission system performance. This paper introduces the multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) method with energy‐efficient protocol for reducing the energy consumption in the network. Initially, the network coverage is determined by applying the shadow fading sensing model, and the clusters are formed with the help of the particle dual clustering process. After the cluster is formed, the information has been transmitted with the help of the energy‐aware peering routing protocol (EPR), which reduces the network traffic and also improves the energy efficiency with efficient manner. Then, the efficiency of the system is analyzed with the help of experimental results in terms of coverage fraction, accuracy of the cluster, and energy consumption. An energy efficient dual clustering methodology has been implemented quite suited for MIMO systems where only one of the cluster head takes part in communication process thus accounting for energy savings. Primary Cluster Head (PCH) and Secondary Cluster Head (SCH)are formed with the help of the particle dual clustering process. PCH does data aggregation whileSCH then sends theforwarded data to BS using direct communication using an Energy Aware Peering Routing (EPR) Protocol.
