Internet of things and its applications have been growing rapidly in recent years. IoT is included in various communication networks and technologies that part of those are sensor networks. Due to battery limitations, these networks must be designed to reduce power consumption and extend network life. Clustering-based methods save energy by balancing the energy consumption of the nodes. Cluster size has a huge impact on saving energy and increasing network lifetime. This paper presents a new virtual network-based clustering method using multi-phase intelligent algorithms with respect to the energy of the nodes. The proposed method can increase the lifetime of the network and decrease the energy consumption of the nodes by accurately identifying the number of suitable clusters, distributing the cluster-head in the environment, increasing time of the phase of steady, and greedy routing. The proposed method has been evaluated after simulation in Matlab software and its results have been compared with other algorithms. The results of the evaluation show that the proposed method improves the energy consumption and network lifetime.
