Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are considered to be the currently flourishing scientific domain, thereby found to be applicable in numerous industrial and domestic applications. As per the mathematical results in Pulse-coupled oscillator (PCO), it has been predicted that, numerous iterations are needed for convergence, leading to increased power consumption. Biologically inspired solutions are greatly applicable for recovering coverage issues and efficient routing processes. In Hybrid energy efficient distributed clustering (HEED), to find a node with lowest communication cost, large number of iterations is needed, thereby leading to larger time duration for finding such node, and this is considered as the prevalent drawback, resulting in significant power consumption. In Optical low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (O-LEACH), the cluster head selection is based on randomness, resulting in easy cluster failure. Hence, for cases, where power minimization and higher network lifetime is to be achieved to a larger extent, the existing strategies shall not be applicable, due to few restrictions. In this paper, a priority incorporated zone based distributed clustering algorithm, the Better Integrated and Optimized Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (BIO-LEACH) has been proposed for heterogeneous WSN. The methodology of this distributed clustering algorithm possesses three distinct features. First, the given clustering area will be divided in to different clusters and each cluster will be assigned with priority. The cluster which is highly sensitive and which needs frequent data recording will be given highest priority. The clusters in which the priority is assigned, takes multiple sensing and communication even in one cycle. But, the clusters where priority is not assigned, only one sensing and data transmission will be allowed for one cycle. Second, the clusters possessing priorities will have one cluster head (CH) and two supporting cluster head (SCH), but the clusters that do not have priorities will have only one cluster head. Third, the clusters possessing priorities will be possessing cluster nodes more than that of the clusters without priorities, so as to avoid cluster failure. Simulation results have been done to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm in terms of number of cluster head selection, amount of energy consumed and number packets received.
